#the level of 'comfort' this tiny character holds

i said it once before and I'll say it again: queer community. the calypso's birthday episode is fucking pride man. and for izzy, oh for izzy, to be able to finally be free like that? he doesn't understand wee john's 'look' at first but he knows how it makes him feel, so he gets one as well. and for such a repressed queer man to be able to walk out in drag it's huge. AND he sings a love song!! la vie en rose, that's a staple of love repertoire. so izzy feels comfortable, at home enough to be able to go on the deck and show himself as a queer man that loves. he finally accepts that about himself enough to show it. he kisses wee john's hand. he puts on a show. and the crew loves it, sings along with him at the end. one more song indeed, cocksuckers!

Reader's Stuffed Toy
Just a silly little set of drabbles about different characters finding out that the reader has a plushie in their likeness :D
Gender neutral reader, platonic fluff, very slight angst in Foul Legacy's part
Characters: Ayato, Foul Legacy, Gorou, Tighnari, Rex Lapis (yes the dragon), Xiao
Ayato is insufferably smug about it from the moment he realises. He’ll waste no time in teasing you about it and commenting on the plush, though there’s a dark flicker of something in his eyes whenever he catches you contently snuggled up to it, or tucking it carefully into your bag for a long trip. It may take some reassurance that no, this little bundle of fluff isn’t as good as the real thing, until he warms to the idea, and eventually you may find little packages laid out addressed only to “The Junior Yashiro Commissioner.” that, when opened, reveal itty bitty clothes, hand-sewn by Thoma with the utmost care to match Ayato’s own day-to-day outfits. He also may incorporate the toy into his own routine, occasionally stealing it from you so that it can ‘complete its paperwork for the day’. He denies being in any way attached to the toy, but it’s hard to take his claims seriously when he’s got it sitting on his desk in a little chair belonging to Ayaka’s dolls, with a teeny tiny brush and paper in hand.
Though Foul Legacy doesn't entirely get it, he understands that the stuffed toy is of great importance to you. He holds it so delicately, like it's made of glass, so his claws won't shred it. He'll mimic the way you treat it, patting it on the head and chirping curiously at it, as if it's a living creature. It takes him a while to realise how much the toy actually resembles him - there’s a level of disconnect between him and his physical form, but the moment he finds out, he can’t seem to stop thinking about it. He wonders why you’d want a plush of (what he perceives to be) such a monster, but it seems to bring you a great deal of comfort, so he lets it slide, making sure to always be extra careful when he’s tucking it in next to you while you sleep. He finds a whisper of familiarity and comfort in the way you treat the plush that makes him think back to days long past in a small, seaside village, supplying his little siblings with various toys and watching them play.
Gorou is utterly embarrassed - his immediate response is to ask if the Guuji Yae put you up to this. He cannot fathom why you’d be carrying around other than it being some sort of ploy to mess with him. He encourages you to put it away, seemingly worried about any of the other soldiers seeing and potentially teasing him for it - it’s all in good fun, of course, but Gorou is more than a little shy at the best of times. He doesn’t really get it, and may pull you aside to ask you more questions, but there’s just something about it that doesn’t seem to click for him. Though, once he knows you’re being kind and genuine, and that the plush was a one-off commission and not some kind of mass-produced piece, he’s more inclined to allow it, though he’ll get all blushy whenever he thinks about it - he just can’t quite process the fact that you like him enough to own something like that. Even if his soldiers happen to catch on, they realise that there’s a boundary of sorts there, though they may donate little trinkets and tiny toy weapons to the ‘miniature general’ as a sort of good luck ritual before big battles.
Tighnari finds the plush one day when you accidentally leave it sitting out - his initial reaction is one of utter confusion as he wonders if his admirers have grown so bold that they’re now making merchandise of him on top of the trading cards that are circulating. The moment he picks it up and realises it’s drenched in your scent, he’s pleasantly surprised and more than a little flattered. The concept of comfort objects is quite familiar to him, and he takes care to place the toy exactly where he found it. He keeps a closer eye out in an attempt to catch you in the act, partially out of curiosity, but also a little because he likes the confidence boost he gains from it, and how embarrassed you seem to be about the whole situation, hiding the toy away whenever he comes near. If it’s ever brought up, he just kind of laughs it off, but the twitching of his ears reveals how endeared he is to this specific trait of yours. He may also try to find ways to subtly direct you towards Collei, who also has similar comfort objects of her own and can be pretty embarrassed about them at times - this may end up with both of you having cute little Tighnari plushies in your possession.
Rex Lapis takes it pretty well in stride, doesn’t even comment on it at first - after all, this is basically a form of worship, no? That is, until he realises that you treat the toy as a companion more than an item of reverence. He’s a little confused about it at first, watching as you walk about with the plush dragon tucked in your arms, chattering away to it. Eventually, he caves and rumbles out his questions about it, asking if this is meant to be some form of teasing or mockery and listening intently as you awkwardly try to fumble out an acceptable explanation. It takes him some time to grasp the concept that it’s simply an item of comfort to you, and even then he’s not entirely convinced it’s some kind of adeptal trick or machine brought to life somehow.
Xiao isn’t sure how to react. It’s not something you really chose to hide from him, considering his own outlandish habits, you figured he probably wouldn’t even care, but it seems that his fight or flight kicks in whenever he glimpses you with the plush that bears such a striking resemblance to him. His cheeks flush and his pointed ears tilt downwards as he crosses his arms over his chest and demands to see the toy, asking where you got it and why you have it. It’s not quite something he can wrap his head around - why would you want to have something that looks like him when you could just call his name and have the real him there in an instant? If he’s feeling particularly agitated that day, he may just pocket the toy and walk away with it - it’s not the first time he’s done something like that to one of your belongings, and you know it won’t be the last. Following him reveals that he tucks it away in a secluded corner of his nest amongst the high branches of Wangshu Inn, maybe even placing some other similar trinkets and scraps of fabric around it like an imitation of his own nest. He might just turn a blind eye if you happen to be brave enough to try and steal it back from him, though this may end up in an impromptu long-term game of ‘capture the flag’.

hello! I hope you're having a nice weekend and everything is well, I was trying to make this not too similar of a theme to past requests but I understand if it is! I was wondering if you could perhaps write something with remus (or another character of course) where the reader just cannot stop crying? Just comforting reader whos having one of those moments where it seems like nothing will stop you from being upset? Something roughly along those lines perhaps? Understand if not appealing, thank you :)
Hi! I did this with Spencer, I hope that's alright sweetness. Thank you for requesting <33
Spencer Reid x fem!reader ♡ 632 words
You’ve pulled Spencer’s throw tight around your shoulders. It’s squeezing, warm and soft and safe. Spencer has got your socked foot in his hand, massaging your arch in a way that hurts beautifully. You’re watching one of the rare movies you’re both interested in. Everything about your evening makes the perfect recipe for contentment, and for some reason you feel like you’re cracking open. 
The first tear marks a slow, hot path down your cheek, and another follows before it’s dripped off your chin. There are a few more before a hitch in your breathing makes Spencer look over. His grip on your foot loosens. 
“Sorry,” you laugh wetly before he has a chance to say anything. 
“What is it?” he asks. 
“I…” Another laugh chokes its way out of you, and you swipe underneath your eyes. They just keep coming. “I don’t know.” 
“Is it the movie?” 
“I don’t think so.” You shake your head. “Sorry.” 
“You don’t need to be sorry,” Spencer says quietly. It makes your stifled sounds seem louder. He works a hand up to clasp loosely around your ankle, a notch forming between his brows. “Are you upset about something?” 
“No.” A tiny sob shudders out of you, and his grip tightens. “Nothing important.” 
Spencer frowns. He’s got that face like when the crossword is actually difficult for him, a slight purse to his lips and a particular keenness around his eyes. “Do you know where you are in your menstrual cycle?” 
You scoff, pulling your legs closer to you. “Seriously?” 
“If your estrogen levels are dropping, you could be experiencing a decrease in serotonin.” It’s said in what you know to be his gentlest tone, but it doesn’t make you feel any better. “You know, crying can actually be really beneficial. It’s believed to be a uniquely human behavior, but tears can release stress hormones and crying for a long time can even trigger the release of endorphins.” 
You pull the blanket tighter around you, holding your rib cage closed, and try to give him a smile. You know that rationalizing is how Spencer copes. You get that he’s trying to do the same for you. You just don’t work that way. 
His brows pull up in the middle. “This isn’t really helping, is it?’ 
You’re not sure how to reply, but then he’s leaning forward, wrapping his arms around you. Another sob muffles into his shoulder, and Spencer squeezes your upper back solidly. Predictably, he’s even better than the blanket. 
“This helps,” you squeak out. 
“Good.” Spencer sounds tentative, but his hold tightens. He shuffles sideways on the couch to get you closer. “You should—you can just cry, if you need to. It’s good for you.” 
You want to laugh again, you think you can quiet yourself and squash this down and make like it never happened, but then Spencer’s long fingers splay out between your shoulder blades and something inside you collapses.
You stop trying to breathe through it. You don’t fight the roaring in your ears, or the galloping in your chest. You cry until you can feel your heart beating in your sinuses. 
Spencer’s shoulder is wet with tears and snot, and he’s rocking you a little, quiet but there. His hand steadies your shoulders when they shake, riding out the jolting sobs like driftwood on a stormy sea. When you grow quiet, he presses his cheek to the side of your head. 
“Do you want some water?” he asks softly. 
“No, thank you,” you croak back. 
If he thinks you need it, Spencer doesn’t comment. It’ll be sitting on your nightstand when you go to bed. 
“Do you want me to keep holding you?” 
You turn your face into his neck. “Yes, please.” 
“Okay,” he says. “Okay, I can do that.”

Tumblr media
minors do not interact. 18+ only.
porn!ah where iida, bakugou, midoriya, kirishima, shouto, sero, and denki are in a group and post videos of them fucking you and each other.
cw: dom!bakugou, dom!kirishima, dom!sero, dom!midoriya, dom!todoroki, sub!powerbottom!kaminari, oral (fem and male receiving), gangbang/group sex, rough sex, soft sex, praise, weed, size kink, public sex, mentions of mommy kink, overstimulation, squirting, sex work, cross dressing, cum eating
all characters are aged up to 18+.
Tumblr media
the head of the group is tenya iida. he doesn’t actually fuck you. he’s more there to make sure his boys and his princess are safe and mentally stable and getting tested on the regular. he stops in once in awhile (yes, he does make appointments. he learned his lesson from waltzing in whenever he wanted). he cleans up the place and notes any needs to the house. he’s very attentive and reliable. love iida.
katsuki bakugou is the ‘rough n tough’ one. he’s so not gentle with any of you. his jagged fingers gripping the hair closest to your scalp. his hips are keeping a fast pace, fingers digging deep in your hips. the blonde loves to shove faces into pillows/mattresses/blankets. if he’s fucking you in missionary, you already know his hand is either in your hair to yank and hold your head up; making you watch his huge, pale cock make your pretty pussy gush or his hand is around your neck, closing off your airway which also makes your pussy squirt all over him. either way it’s a win-win for him. he’ll fuck you however he needs you.
shouto todoroki is a soft man. he’s not really into sticking his dick anywhere. therefore he’s mostly in the background or the one filming. for example, let’s say you were spread on the couch with katsuki destroying you in between your legs. todoroki would be behind the couch, crouching at your level, and whispering the filthiest things into your ear to encourage an orgasm from you. his voice is his specialty. sometimes he’ll even post videos of him masturbating and literally just talking. fans love it every time and it’s what todoroki’s comfortable with.
izuku midoriya is a soft boy. he loves sitting you in his lap, slowly fingering your holes and eventually increasing his speed to the point your shaking. there’s lots of kissing in scenes with him. he adores your chest. always groping and sucking on every inch of your body. not to mention, this curly haired cutie almost always eats you out. sometimes all he wants to do is tongue fuck your tiny cunt with his skilled tongue. he loves doing videos where his lips are wrapped around your clit and two girthy fingers of his are sliding in and out of you, legs pinned to your ears. he’s so soft and sweet with you. especially after a certain blonde gets done with you, he’ll kiss you on your back and make you feel all better. he’d even eat an ice cube before hand.
eijoru kirishima is a mix between soft and rough. his words and sounds are so sweet but his cock and hands are so mean to your body. you’re always blabbering about how “s’ too much!” and “can’t take it!” and “s-so big!” yeah. he teases you all the time about how big his cock is. this redhead loves how much impact he has on you. you’re so cute and needy and desperate. he could just cum buckets with you clawing him like that. one of his biggest kinks is markings, after all. it doesn’t matter if the marks are on him or on you, it makes him feel powerful either way.
denki kaminari is a good boy. more on the submissive side, he’s either sitting between your legs or letting you ride him, or getting plowed or blown by some other guy. he likes dressing up in skirts and makeup. thigh highs and lace socks are quite popular with him as well. whenever he’s inside you he’s begging to fill you up all nice n pretty so he could drop down and eat his own cum as it drips from your hole. denki loses all control when it comes to your pussy- he can’t help it. it’s so pretty and cute and sensitive and he just wants to play with it for hours. he loves to pin your knees to your shoulders and just kiss your thighs, legs, and that cunt. this boy also loves to suck on your tits while he’s getting his hole stretched out. it’s comforting. might even call you “mommy.”
hanta sero isn’t really big in any of the videos but the videos he does feature in always blow up like crazy. his favorite move is him laid back with you bouncing on his dick like a trampoline. one hand lazily sits in your waist and the other hand chills behind his head, occasionally bringing a blunt to his lips. it’s so hot. his droopy eyes, drowsy smirk, hazy chuckle he gives you when he thrusts his hips up to surprise you. to top it off, he’ll sit up at someone point and kiss you mid smile. it always leaves you with butterflies in your stomach; then you feel those butterflies get knocked by his cock and fuck you back to reality. like kirishima, sero also gets off to the idea of someone being needy for him. he likes beggers and worship. he often does videos of him in public, either bending a pretty baby over in a skirt or getting sucked off in a parking lot. once he posted a video of him and bakugou sucking faces and groping each other in a sketchy alley for two minutes straight. it’s his most popular video on his channel.

Join My Taglist!
Tumblr media
It’s not exactly dark, but you’ll take it. Not exactly comfortable, but it’s worth it. Dank, cold, and barren, this place is less than inviting. The winter weather makes you curl in on yourself, makes your skin shiver and rise with irritated bumps. Snow covers the hair peeking out from beneath your mask, lining the outside edges of it, collecting on the soft, black material. It doesn��t help that you’ve climbed to the highest level of this building, either, the roost you created after clearing the rooms easily accepting swirls of freezing wind. Again, not ideal, but with Ghost… how could you reject him? 
“Simon!” 
It comes out as a hiss, a quiet shriek. But all he does is grunt in response, holding you tightly to his chest. Broad hands cemented to your hips, thick fingers squeezing into the fabric covering your pliable frame, he sighs, burying his masked face into the crease of your neck.
“Don’t say my name out in the field.” Ghost’s gravely voice suddenly huffs out in response. “You know better than that.” 
“I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry…” You’re panting heavily, feeling his swollen cock pulse while seated deep inside. 
“Fuck me…”
Suddenly, his dominant hand releases you of its grasp, rising to your face and grabbing the edge of your mask. Roughly, he yanks it off of your head, aggressively throwing it onto the floor. And then his hand is back on you again, grabbing hold of your jaw and jerking your head to the side. 
“Let me see that pretty face.” Comes that deep, rich voice. That same hand, still gloved and chilly, runs over your features, brushing away your stray hairs. 
Your breathing is light and airy - you’re breathless because of him. Hips rolling into you, grinding against your ass, holding you against him with a tight grasp. He’s not even thrusting into you, just seated entirely inside, giving you tiny yet powerful ruts, punching up against something deep in your body. The feeling of being ‘full’ doesn’t even come close; the heavy girth of him makes you pulse, makes you fucking see stars. 
“Yeah, that’s it.” He comments smugly, watching your head drop forward with a gasp. “Come on, you can take it.” 
And you can, you know because it’s not the first time you have. The first time was in the barracks, specifically in your shower. That was the first time he’d ever put himself inside you. The second was in his private quarters; he’d bent you over the side of his bed. The third occurred after a training day last week. He’d pulled you aside in the locker room, sucking on your neck while lifting you up, quickly thrusting into you. 
You didn’t know Simon before joining 141, but at this point, you can’t imagine life without him. He was the most reliable lieutenant you’d ever followed, the most trustworthy man in your life. Your other team members, you could trust them, too. You were a sort of family in that way, but your feelings for them weren’t nearly the same as those you had for Ghost. He made you feel different, seen, heard and respected. The way he talked to you made you straighten your spine, the way he’d occasionally joke with you made you smile in the darkest of times. And the way he touched you… set your entire body alight.
“You do it so well,” Sighing out, you bring your head up and back, resting it on his shoulder with your cheek beside his head. He’d pulled down his hood for this, the fabric of his balaclava now brushing lightly against your skin. “You know just how to make me want you.”
Reaching around, your hand finds the back of his head, slipping up beneath his mask to tangle your fingers in his dirty blonde hair, a trait you’re only aware of because of your intimate moments. At times, his mask would shift, but never enough to show his face.
“Is that right?” He returns, kissing your jaw through his mask. 
Originally, you were hesitant about this, worried that one of your teammates would come up and catch the two of you. But Simon reassured you of their positions, also reminding you that there was little time to do this. And for some reason, that just made the entire situation more exciting to you. 
“It’s that easy, huh?” Lowering his hand, he secures those large fingers around your throat. “So willing for me.” He shakes his head then, tightening his grip. “Stupid little girl.” 
Ghost respects you, you know that, there’s no way he doesn’t with how he treats you. You’re an incredibly vital member of his team. But when you were on his cock… that was an entirely different story. You literally went fucking dumb for him, falling apart in his arms in a way he’s never seen. 
Your free hand has been holding onto his forearm, clinging desperately as he keeps it secured around your waist. Simon’s dominant hand is still holding your neck, fingers growing tighter the more pent up he gets. He’s growling, groaning into your ear as he nuzzles into your neck. 
“Be quiet for me, doll.” He then demands. “They’re not close, but they’re not too far, either.”
“Okay,” Pinching your eyes shut, you nod, doing your best to keep your little squeaks and moans to a minimum. 
Involuntarily, you tighten around him, earning a surprised snarl from the larger man. Taking his hand away from your throat, he lifts up the bottom of his mask, that same hand immediately returning to your neck and squeezing even harder than before. With his mask up, he now lowers his mouth to your shoulder, biting into you. And you cry out from it, the shriek ending in a strangled gasp when his fingers choke you. Dragging his teeth across your skin, he growls. He’s trying to restrain himself, trying to keep from completely tearing into you. Because he knows if he does, there’s no way the team won’t hear you. 
“Fuck, I can feel you, babe.” Huffing out, he kisses a rather dark mark he left. “I can feel that sloppy little cunt swallowing me up.” 
“Shit,” Dropping your head again, you cry out silently, feeling him drag you further back into him. He hauls you off your feet, pressing your ass back against him while giving you a particularly hard thrust. Lowering your hand from his hair, it joins the one already clinging to his bicep, your voice now pleading for him. “Ghost.”
“It’s too much, yeah?” He returns, cooing mockingly to you. 
All you can do is nod your head, and this is when he realizes he loosened his grasp. Snapping your head back onto his shoulder is the force of his strong hand, fingers returning to curl around your neck. 
“You thought I’d take it easy on you? Huh? Just because we’re out in the field?” 
“Mm,”
“No, sweetness, I never would. I like having you like this. Oh…” He groans roughly, kissing your neck. “That’s it…” Now, you’re grinding back into him, feeling his weight as he presses himself into you from behind.
Turning his head, he angles himself so he can see your face. And out of the corner of your eye, you stare right back at him. He grins. 
“That’s what I like.” Nodding, Simon sighs heavily, moving his hips a little quicker against you. “That dumb look on your pretty little face.”
“Mm…” Comes another whimper, feeling his tip prod up against that special spot inside you. He knows he’s hit it, and he grinds himself against it. 
“You’re perfect,” He suddenly spits out, hand choking you harshly and almost to the point of tears. “Don’t even know where you are, what you’re doing… whether you’re on my cock or not, you’re always submitting to me.” 
Out of instinct, you nod. He’s right. Whether you're following his orders in the field or fulfilling his demands in bed, you’re submitting to him. And you do so willingly, happily.
A short buzz of static rings through on your comms, causing both of your actions to stop. Together, you stay still, Ghost still holding you, still fully inside you. Releasing a hot breath through his nose, it fans over you, warming your skin. He’s trying to calm himself down and steady his breaths, just in case he has to respond to whoever’s on the other end. But nothing is said, no one comes in. Pulling you over to the side a bit, he glances out the nearest window, taking a look at your surroundings. Neither of you heard anything, and neither of you see anything. Maybe someone hit their comm link by mistake? 
“Come on,” He then says, hauling you back against him. “We haven’t got much time.” 
The gasp he forces from you is followed by an intense moan, feeling him manhandle your body up against the nearest wall. Your palms press into the hard plaster of this abandoned building, your cheek leaning against it as well. Now instead of grinding his pelvis against your ass, he fully thrusts into you. Punching the breath from your lungs, the hand choking you slides up, covering your loud mouth. 
“You just can’t stay quiet, can you?” 
Using the little strength you have in comparison to him, you bounce back against his pelvis. The arm around your midsection tightens, his mouth roaming your skin. The stubble on his chin and jawline scrape against your neck, heightening the shiver already running viciously up and down your spine. 
“Fucking hell,” Burying his face into your hair, he closes his eyes. “I’m gonna cum, sweetheart.” When you don’t respond, he asks, “Where do you want me?”
“Please not inside me,” Gulping, you swallow thickly. “Not today, not right now, baby.” 
He assumed you’d say this. Who wants to be dripping with cum while hiking through a winter storm? As pleasing as that may sound to him, trekking alongside you while knowing his seed is dripping between your thighs…  he follows your cue. 
“Okay,” Nodding, he agrees. “Why don’t you touch yourself? Go on, touch that clit for me.” 
Fully leaning against the wall, you do as he says, allowing one of your hands to fall. Your pants are just barely down, hanging around your mid-thigh; it was too cold to pull them down any further than that. But lucky for you, your pants are off enough for you to reach your sex. 
Simon grins breathlessly when he feels your fingers brush against him, rubbing fast and sloppy circles over your clit. It only makes him pound into you harder, forcing himself inside again and again. He revels in the feeling of your wetness, knowing how truly aroused you get from him. 
“Just like that, doll. Keep doing that for me.” He’s trying desperately to keep his composure, but the squishy sound of him re-entering your sex is making his heart pound in his chest. 
His bit of praise makes you flush, whining quietly while you feel the beginnings of your peak. And when you begin to shake, he almost can’t control himself. He bites down into the meat between your shoulder and neck, growling against you as he feels your release. Hot and wet, it rushes down his pelvis, your high and airy gasps making his eyes roll back. 
“Ghost!” You shriek - you can’t help it. You’re genuinely unable to restrain yourself from being vocal while experiencing this ecstasy. 
Diving inside one, two, three more times, and then he’s sliding out in the blink of an eye. Releasing your throat, his hand shoots down, wrapping around the thickness of himself and pumping quickly. You gasp, inhaling a deep breath of fresh, cold air. Shaking legs keep you up, both palms pressing into the wall. 
A harsh grunt is punched from his chest, his head lowering to rest his forehead on your bruised neck. Spurts of white shoot from his tip, his fist squeezing tightly as he releases onto the dirty, wooden floor. His hips thrust forward into his hand, his chest and stomach flexing while trying to keep his groans low. 
“Ghost?”
“Fuck,” Groaning in frustration, he quickly wipes his hand off on his pants. His cum had oozed all over his knuckles. 
Reaching to his comm link, he presses the button. “Come in.” 
“How long should we keep our channels off?”
“Off?” He almost sounds offended. “What are you on about? Those should never be off.” 
“Well, the boys and I, we…” 
When he doesn’t finish, Ghost presses the button on his end again. “Soap?”
“We just wanted to give you two some… alone time.”

Hi!
Since you’re asking for fic ideas, how about Claudia Henderson taking Steve in when he’s younger? She knows Wayne Munson got custody of his nephew the year before, so she asks him for advice helping Steve adjust.
Maybe Steve and Eddie getting to be close friends? Bonus points for little brother Dustin!
Thank you so much for the request! I love it and have been thinking about it nonstop.
CW: mentions of divorce, previous child neglect/abuse, C-PTSD, mention of minor character death (murder), swearing
I’m not sure what happened here exactly. I just know that I like it.
1953 words.
Claudia Henderson had always wanted two boys, a fact that almost everyone in Hawkins knew about. So, it really shouldn’t have come as a surprise to her that Jim Hopper was standing on her doorstep. He was holding his hat in front of him and the look on his face proved that he knew he was probably going to ask too much. Again.
“How can I help you, Chief?” She asked as though she couldn’t see Steve Harrington sitting in Hop’s car and looking straight ahead.
He cleared his throat. “I need to watch over the kid for a few days. Maybe a week while we try to get ahold of some relatives.”
Jim never was one to beat around the bush, but neither was Claudia. “Why?”
“His father is… going away for a while.” He seemed uncomfortable.
“Why?” She repeated, subconsciously crossing her arms when she had to press for more answers. He came to her for a favor, she had every reason to demand answers.
“He killed his wife and the kid has nowhere else to go in the meantime. I don’t want to have to hold him in a cell just because we don’t have a child services division in this small town.”
“Sorry we aren’t New York, Chief.” She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. That poor kid. Did he see what happened? Was she going to have to take him into the station to answer questions in the morning? “Does he have anything with him?”
“Just some clothes. He didn’t really want anything out of that house.”
She sighed again at that. “Bring him, then.”
Tomorrow, she was going to see if he wanted to go to the store and get anything. Probably best to keep him busy if he was willing. Besides, she needed to take Dustin to go pick out a new coloring book anyway.
Claudia looked out through the darkness and gave herself a moment to mourn, though not to cry. Steve’s mother had been her friend, even if they had drifted apart after Claudia’s divorce had gone through. Tonight couldn’t be about her. Not when her best friend’s son needed someone to take care of him.
“Thank you, Ms Henderson,” Hop said as he passed the backpack over to her and Steve stood on her doorstep.
He was so skinny. And was that bruising or shadows on his tiny face? That was a question she’d leave for the morning. Right now, he looked like he was about to collapse.
“I’m not doing it for you,” she replied before kneeling down to Steve’s level.
Hop took the opportunity to leave. The young male looked to him the same way a terrified boy would look for his father and Claudia made a note to reprimand the police chief later.
“Hi, Steve. I know this isn’t your home, but I want you to be comfortable here. Do you want to stay in the spare room tonight, or my room?”
He looked at her, wide eyed, as if she had a second head. “I get to choose?” He asked so softly and it broke her heart.
“You always have a choice here, Steve. As long as you stay safe and don’t hurt anyone.”
He chewed his lip and winced. It made Claudia lean more towards bruises than shadows, but it was hard to tell in the lighting and she wasn’t going to push. He had been through a lot.
“Spare room please,” Steve eventually decided.
Claudia made sure to show him where the kitchen and the bathroom were in case he needed anything. She also pointed out her own room being right across the hall before opening the door to the spare room for him. She did her best to make sure that he was as settled and comfortable as he was going to be under the circumstances. She stood in the door frame for a few seconds, holding on to it gently. She didn’t want to leave him, but he had requested to be alone.
“Anything you need, Steve. Just let me know. And Dustin might pester you in the morning if he wakes up before I do.”
“Okay,” he said simply.
Claudia went back to bed, leaving her door open. She really was going to have to call Wayne in the morning.
If Steve snuck into her room and laid on the floor beside her bed, she pretended not to notice.
“Wayne?” She was speaking a little lower than normal, but she did have two sleeping boys in her house and she was doing her best to keep it that way. “How did you help Eddie cope when he had to move in with you?”
“Why are you asking Claudia?” His voice was rough, but she knew him well enough to know that it was because he was tired.
“Have you heard about what happened at the Harrington’s yet?”
“You mean the murder?”
“I have Steve. Hop brought him to me last night,” she said in a rush before looking down the hall to make sure neither boy was going to sneak in on this conversation.
“Just make sure he feels safe and knows that things are going to happen at his speed, as much as possible. Have your limits and stick to them. Don’t let him push you over just because you know the hell he’s been through. And most important? Don’t try and be his Mama unless he asks you to.”
“Don’t have to worry about that last one. Hop said it should hopefully only be a week until they find some family willing to take him.” There was a tiny sniffle behind her. “Shit, Wayne. I gotta go. I’ll call you back tonight.”
When Claudia turned around, Steve was already disappearing back into the spare bedroom. The door closed with a soft click.
Shit.
“Mom, what’s for breakfast?” Dustin demanded as he walked out of his room and straight to the kitchen.
She’d check in on Steve soon. He probably needed a minute anyway.
“Pancakes sound good to you, Dusty?”
His toothless grin made her heart hurt.
How could anyone look at their child and feel anything but love?
It had been a few months and it seemed like Steve was staying. No one wanted to step up and take Steve. Honestly? Claudia wasn’t heartbroken about it. The longer he stayed, the more she loved him. She wasn’t fully convinced that she would let anyone take him away from her at this point. She wasn’t sure when she started looking at Steve as a son exactly, just that it happened quickly. Even Dustin, spoiled as he was, was excited to have an older kid in the house to hang out with. He said it made him seem cool to his friends that he suddenly found himself spending a lot more time with a Harrington. Whatever that meant.
She was just happy they were getting along. Happy that Steve was getting more comfortable with them. He was back up to a healthy weight, all the bruises were gone, and his injuries had turned to faded scars. Steve was safe. Most importantly, he was happy and loved. Claudia tried to not let it get to her that those were new feelings for the boy who previously only knew neglect or abuse at the hands of his biological parents.
Claudia woke up in the middle of the night, her heart pounding. What was that? A second thud had her throwing her covers back and running to the kitchen. The sight that greeted her would have made her laugh if Steve didn’t look so terrified.
Both boys were covered in flour. Honestly, the fact that most of the kitchen also had at least a thin dusting of the stuff was kind of impressive.
“What’s happening in here?” She asked with a smile.
Steve flinched and she tried to not let it get to her. He had to know by now that she would never hurt him, but the past doesn’t just go away like that.
“We were trying to make you a cake, but you put the flour too high and Steve wasn’t going to crawl on the counter. So I had to do it.” Dustin supplied after looking at the older kid and realizing that he wasn’t going to talk.
It happened a lot, Steve suddenly not talking. He also tended to leave the room a lot and hide in what had become his room. At least he felt safe enough to walk away now. He wasn’t walking away this time.
“It’s your birthday,” Steve said so softly. “It’s your birthday and you deserve a cake. I never got a cake.” His words got quieter as he kept talking, the last part of what he said barely audible.
“Oh, Steve,” Claudia’s heart was breaking. Shattering, really. “That’s really thoughtful of you, sweetheart. How about this? We clean up this mess and try again together? Yeah? Then I’ll move some stuff around so you can reach all the food in this kitchen.”
His eyes were shiny with unshed tears as the fear on his face gave way to a shy smile. “Okay,” he said simply.
And that was that.
Claudia was flustered.
She had been talking to Wayne a lot lately because he could relate to what she was going through. Taking in a kid who had nowhere else to go.
Somehow, that translated into them going out for dinner or lunch a few times to talk in person. To complain about the hardships and brag about the worthy things respectively.
That turned into her actually asking him on a date. Even more surprisingly, he agreed! Even though she knew he wouldn’t care, she was dressed in her absolute best and even took the time to tame her wild hair.
When there was a knock on the door, she was quick to answer it before Steve or Dustin had a chance. What she saw took her breath away. Wayne had put an effort in as well, and he was even holding a bouquet of flowers. Her cheeks heated and she smiled widely.
“They’re beautiful,” she breathed.
“You’re beautiful,” Wayne replied.
“Come in, come in,” she insisted as she stepped out of the way. When she saw Eddie, she smiled at him as well. “Thank you for agreeing to babysit my kiddos for me.”
Eddie grinned. “Uncle Wayne said he’d get me an Iron Maiden cassette.” Then he was running off to Dustin’s room, following the sound of laughter.
Claudia laughed softly before returning her attention to Wayne.
He shrugged. “Flattery and bribery get you everywhere with that boy,” he joked before going to grab a vase to put the flowers in.
Obviously he had been around the house a few times and paid attention to where she put things. Briefly, Claudia pictured Wayne and Eddie moving in - in the future.
It wasn’t a bad thought.
When they got back, Claudia was greeted by an adorable sight. Dustin was asleep, spread across the couch. Eddie and Steve were cuddled up in the recliner. Of course Dustin would claim the couch for himself and make two people share the smaller seat.
“Let’s not wake them just yet,” she said softly after a moment. “I’ve never seen Steve look so relaxed.”
Wayne had no objections. “Let’s put a note on the coffee table and then head to the backyard?”
Claudia had no objections, either. She scrawled out something on a piece of paper that was on the table already before leading the way outside. They sat on the outside loveseat, their knees touching.
Everyone was going to be spending a lot more time together. She just knew it.

a.n. - oh anon, this tugged at my heartstrings. i always love fics like this, and i feel like nanami would be so sweet lol. i enjoyed writing it, i hope y'all enjoy reading it!
Tumblr media
Two months is how long you have been dating Kento Nanami and every day has felt like a dream. He's the perfect boyfriend that you always dreamed of, feeling like you were in a fairytale. And today was no different really. Today marked the first weekend you'd be spending at his place, the first time either of you step in the direction of spending the night. He was the one to ask if you'd like too, and you of course have to jump on the chance.
You decide to plant yourself outside of his work with his favorite snack (and one you grabbed for yourself, obviously) from the bakery, knowing he was working some overtime and probably needed a little pick me up. You also figure seeing him after work could be a good surprise, you only hope he might want to see you after work. You had gotten out of work early, so it made sense to you, while you made the plan on the train, to be able to make a quick pitstop.
You look around anxiously for Nanami, hoping you hadn't missed him, or he had gotten out early as well. But you had nothing to fear as you see him walk out, his face brightening when he saw you, a soft smile gracing his features.
"Hey sweetheart, what a nice surprise seeing you here." He says to you, and his first plan of attack when seeing you was to shoulder the overnight bag you had brought with you to Jujutsu High, that contained what you needed for the weekend visit. It made your heart flutter when he so mindlessly did the most gentlemen of things. The next thing he did was with the opposite hand than that of the arm shouldering the bag, was to offer it to you as you both walk to his place. He doesn't live too far from Jujutsu High and it was a nice day outside. A perfect day for a walk, as he told you, making sure you knew that he doesn't live to far.
"Of course Ken, I hope you don't mind me stopping at your work so soon in our relationship. You also didn't have to grab my bag, but thank you for doing it. Oh! And before I forget, I got another surprise. I picked up some treats for us this weekend, some of our favorites." You tell him, cringing a little. You weren't sure if you had been talking too much, or jumping around in your statements. Previous relationships had always made some comment regarding your talking levels, always being roped in with being clingy. You glance over at Nanami, who is smiling down at you, eyes darting between your face and the route in front of you, making you relax a tiny bit.
"These treats sound lovely for this weekend. I also don't mind you stopping by at work, you always brighten my day. And in no way is it a problem for me to hold the bag for you." He says, noting your jumpiness around him still. He genuine about enjoying seeing you after work, even if the relationship was still relatively new. He could feel his heart blossom anytime he saw you, something he hasn't really felt with anyone else. He was hoping that he wasn't pushy at all with you though, concerned he would seem to forward and make you uncomfortable with any words or advances he has made.
He did notice that you weren't one to initiate any sort of first contact, not that he expected that at the initial part of the relationship, but he was a bit nervous if him grabbing your hand earlier seemed too forward. But he holds the observation inside, wanting to enjoy the weekend and not focus on something that could be nothing. Surely you'd say something if you were uncomfortable he truly hoped. (Although if he felt you were uncomfortable he'd sit you both down to talk about it.) But he figures you just didn't enjoy initiating contact first in such a new relationship, and besides, he loves initiating contact anyway.
"Any plans for the weekend?" You ask, changing the subject as the both of you come up to his house. He messes around with the lock, trying to find the right key, as he talks a lot about relaxing for the evening at least, leaving the rest of the weekend up to fate.
You're curious about his house, really soaking up the outside while he swings open the door. Two stories, plain looking outside. Knowing Nanami, he was a very minimalist person, and you were right in that guess. Inside the house, it was very minimalistic. As you walk through the entrance way and into the main area, you pause in the living area to really take it in while he takes your bag to the guest room.
He has a couple of hanging plants next to the long sliding doors. The light filtering through the blinds, his TV stand pushed up against the wall so it wasn't blinded by the sunlight. The couch placed in the nice sunlight of the window and a blanket hanging off it, and you could only imagine how warm it felt there. You're brought out of your thoughts when Nanami walks back into the kitchen, the sound of his footsteps causing you to sharply turn to him.
He's out of his work clothes and into more lounge wear, and it sparks you into moving into the guest room to do the same for yourself, shedding yourself from the workday. You come back out to see him making dinner, your eyebrows raising in shock.
"We could have ordered take out, you didn't have to go to the trouble of making anything." You say, grabbing his attention.
"I do enjoy cooking, you know. This is no trouble at all, really." He says, continuing his thought. "It's simple and easy, to kick off the evening."
You smile, relief at the thought it wasn't too much trouble. You sit at the table near the kitchen, still visible to each other and close enough to hear each other talk if you wanted too. It was kept minimal though as he was hyper-focused. He soon finishes the dinner though, as he promised a quick and easy make, bringing your plate over to you, and you continue what small conversation you had. And to your appreciation, it flowed. It isn't forced and awkward. This is the first time in a long string of awful exes that you've felt truly listened too by someone, without them wanting to get something in return for it.
He asks you questions, sincerity behind the tone, really listening to your answers. He looks you in your eyes as you respond, causing your face to warm up anytime he looks at you for longer than 10 seconds. You're starting to worry you're rambling too much.
"But yeah, I think that's the new idea I came up with would work, I'm just unsure how to bring it up. I'm sure they'd choose someone else's idea first though, I don't know if mine is the best." You catch yourself rambling, your breath hitching. "Sorry, not to hog the conversation. Has Gojo done anything to bother you lately?" And your eyes shift. What if he thought you were trying to find out about another man.
"Your idea is good, but that's the second time you've done that, you know. Stopping yourself from talking, that is." He says instead, and your eyes snap up to his. His eyes are ones of concern, and you aren't sure how to respond.
"Sorry. I don't notice I do it." You finally stammer out, and Nanami looks understanding.
"Hey, it's okay. Just a small observation. Sorry to put you on the spot, truly. Gojo was relatively fine today, but then again, I wasn't around him very often." Nanami continues, noting how nervous you were about the observation. He didn't mean to say it so bluntly and take you off guard, very willing to switch the topic for your sake.
You both finish up eating, where you both playfully fought over you helping with the dishes. You eventually won when you flicked some of the water in his face. (Although he didn't miss you you tense, worried you took it a step too far.) But he gently laughs at it, pulling you in close to stand next to him at the sink to wash and dry. The hand on the waist when he pulled you in made your body ghost shiver, and you hope he doesn't feel that. You swear he lets his hand linger though, for a second longer than necessary, sure that he might have felt your shiver anyway.
You fall into a peaceful silence while you wash and you so badly want to rest your head on his chest, but you refrain. As you finish up, you both head over to the couch to relax for the rest of the night. He brings over the snacks you bought as well, intending to eat them over whatever it is you both choose to do.
"Any ideas for a movie?" He asks, deciding to take a small lead. He sees how nervous you are in suggesting something new, as if he wouldn't want to do what you suggest, and he wants to help with that. He did notice in previous situations that you tend to get bashful at suggesting anything, opting to let him have the choice in what to do. He didn't want to always make the decision, always wanting to hear your input as well. At the very least here, he could start with nudge you into voicing what ideas you have about a movie.
"Something in the romantic genre?" You question, wanting to see if that's a good idea with him, and he nods. You're excited, previous relationships not really wanting much to do with romance, thinking it was one of your "tactics" to push them into doing more romantic activities. Nanami's considerations for what you want to do always took you by surprise, in a good way. He looks fine with the decision too, scrolling through the lists on the variety of streaming services. You both settle on a movie that sounds promising that neither of you have seen before.
You both lean back into the couch, and you nervously bite at your nails. You curl your legs under you as you glance over at Nanami, craving the touch of cuddling, unsure of how to ask for it without it being awkward. He's coming back from dimming the lights and closing the blinds as he sits next to you, and thankfully you don't have to worry about asking. He grabs the blanket off the couch as he also hits play on the movie. He wraps the blanket around the both of you, as the blanket was big enough to wrap around two people, and you couldn't be more happy at the invitation.
He pulls you into his chest and you feel warm as you bury yourself into his chest. His frame makes you feel secure as he strokes your arm and side. His heartbeat was soothing as you burrow into him. Your arms strengthen their grip on him as he pulls you even closer. You turn your focus to the movie, enjoying the warmth for a majority of it.
But the movie then pulls you out of the comforting trance right around the climax though, where the fight between the love characters are at a high. It reminds you of what used to be. The guy uses the woman's exes against her, saying that maybe they were right about her personality. Maybe that he should've listened to them and should have never went out with her.
What if Nanami finds about about your insecurities or clinginess, and decides to use it against you? Is your thought, and it causes you to stiffen. It's enough to get Nanami looking down at you with his brows furrowed in curiosity. He pauses the movie and you look up at him, worry at ruining movie night.
His heart hurts when he sees the gloss of tears in your eyes. He shifts you both around, the dim lighting allowing him to still see you clearly when he sits you to face him.
"Hey, it's okay. I know we've been going slow for two months, and we haven't known each other for very long, but you can talk to me." He speaks with a soft tone in his voice, eyes shifting around your face for any sudden changes in your demeanor.
"Sorry. I'm sorry." You whisper out at first, tears falling quick. He wipes them away, the pads of his fingers cool and welcome against your warming skin, letting you take your time.
"It just made me worry about previous exes talking to you. You would've found out eventually about my personality, but maybe they would've told you sooner and you would leave me sooner." You say, looking at him with your lip trembling a little. He senses your heightened anxiety, but he can't imagine what they'd have to say to him. Anything an ex had to say about you, he'd assume was a lie until you told him otherwise. He lets you collect your thoughts before you continue.
"I suppose it's better you hear it from me anyway. I'm too clingy. I'm too talkative. That's what they all said anyway when they broke up with me. It's the reason they did. And even though you might be the best relationship I've had where I was starting to not have to worry about that, it'll be the reason you break up with me too, eventually. Even though I'm trying to control myself and not be too touchy or talkative, it'll still be too much for you. One day I'll talk too much or want one to many kisses and it'll cause you to break up with me." You tell him, trying to easy your way out of his touch, worried that would even be too much for him.
You're full on sobbing now, standing up from the couch and pacing in front of him. He stands up next to you and pulls you by the wrist to try and stop you.
"That's why you primarily want me to initiate anything, huh. Darling, look at me." He wraps his other arm around your waist, the one on your wrist coming up to gently trace your face. "Hey, it's okay. I haven't minded initiating contact at all these past couple of months. I know I may not have touched you often, I can't imagine how hard that must have been for someone who loves touch. I just didn't want to cross your boundaries, I always wondered why you seemed hesitant to reach out to me or kiss me. I even wondered why you always seemed cautious with your words, as if I wouldn't give the chance to hear your beautiful words."
He sets you both down on the couch again, your breath still hitching, still also feeling bad about stopping the movie night. It's as if Nanami can sense that too, quick to get on more with his speech.
"I need you to know that they're all wrong. I want nothing more than for you to feel comfortable around me. I don't mind you touching me, I don't mind you talking to me about any and every thought you have. It's you being a regular human. And so what if you need a little more contact than what's considered a norm? That's what's normal to you, alright? I'd let you know if I need space, but that's so rare. I want you to feel comfortable enough that you don't hesitate to kiss me because that's just what you feel you need. Much like I'd pull you in for a hug because it's what I need. If anything, you should be telling me off if I'm not providing you the support you need. From now on, don't hold your breath and deny me the chance to hear your gorgeous voice. I can't imagine how starved you've been for contact you've been denying yourself and craving, and I can't believe I haven't been giving enough of that contact, especially since I've been catching on lately. How stupid I've been to not ask you outright." He cups his hands around your face and you sigh, leaning into his touch.
Your tears are stopping, he plants many kisses alongside your nose, forehead, anywhere on your face. He kisses you once, twice, three times on the lips, deepening the third one. You really lean into that one, hands balling the fabric of his shirt up. You start to let go, and he's quick to remind you that it's okay. As long as you feel comfortable to touch him.
"You may not be okay with it right away, and we'll have our boundary talks as situations arise, but I'm willing to stand with you side by side." He says, a finger tracing the outline of your face.
"Thank you Ken. I don't even know how to begin to thank you."
"You don't have too. It's what relationships are, it's about finding that middle ground." You bite your lip and threw caution to the wind for once in the relationship. You take charge and you slide your arms around his neck, pulling yourself as close as you could for the skinship, shaking in his embrace. He wraps his arms as tight as they could go without hurting you, burying his face in your neck. He maneuvers you both in the lying position on the couch, wrapping the blanket around you both, the movie you both had put on now long forgotten. As you both now take in the warm embrace, you're glad to have shared in the vulnerability. Even if it's a two month relationship, it was good to take a step forward in a new relationship, as you both drift to sleep.

The Dangers of Hope Ch. 9
Tumblr media
Series Summary: When Y/N shows up at Camp Chitaqua with her little girl in tow, her bloodshot eyes leave no doubt that she's infected. Or is she? Everything Dean has come to know for certain over the last five hellish years, is about to be challenged.
Pairings/Characters in the series: Endverse!Dean x Reader, Emma (OFC), Castiel, Sam Winchester, Lucifer, Michael, Zachariah, Risa, Johnston (OMC), Patrick (OMC), Theresa (OFC), other survivors and soldiers.
Series Explicit 18 +/Warnings: Show level violence, some gore, angst, smut, fluff all the usual for a series of mine. ❤️ Endverse!Dean (that's a warning for his anger and callousness as well as his extreme hotness. 😁) Each chapter will have their own specific warnings.
Chapter Warnings: Angst, some smut.
Word Count: 6,553
A/N: So, I've had this idea for quite a while. Basically since I watched The Last of Us. I loved Pedro in the role of Joel, but I kept thinking how incredible Jensen would have been. Which then made me think of how amazing he was as Endverse!Dean which then led me to this idea. Lol! I've stolen the premise of Ellie's storyline from TLOU, but made her a grown up, a reader insert, and a love interest for Dean.
If you've never seen TLOU, don't worry - you don't need to have seen it to understand this story. 😊
I've taken some liberties with the Endverse in my story, changed a few things from canon, but kept lots of things too.
I sincerely hope you enjoy the story. It will be ten chapters and I will do my very best to post one chapter every weekend. ❤️
A/N 2: Since I haven't posted anything on this series for the last two weeks, I thought I'd get this chapter out to you guys early, instead of waiting for Saturday. I hope you think it was worth the wait. The last chapter will be posted on Saturday, April 13. Thanks for all your support of this series! ❤️

He’d lost them. They were gone. 
Their screams echoed in his ears as he came awake with a start, breathing hard and fast.
Dean sat up and swung his legs over the side of the cot, feeling Y/N shifting beside him. 
“Dean?” Her voice was squeaky and thick with sleep. 
She sat up and began rubbing her hand across his back as she moved to sit beside him. He didn’t need to explain why he was awake and breathing as though he’d run a mile.
Y/N kissed his shoulder and he felt the heat of her lips through his thin cotton t-shirt. “It was just a dream.” She kissed him again. “Just a bad dream. Everything’s okay.”
Dean nodded absently and then turned towards her and cupped her cheek in his hand; he needed to touch her, feel she was real. He kissed her lips, soft and brief before he turned to look at Emma sleeping across the tent. She looked so tiny, dwarfed even by the small cot.
Dean stood up and crossed to her. Her little limbs were completely tangled up in the blankets and her head was nearly hanging off the side of the cot. Dean leaned down and adjusted her position to something comfier. He untangled her and tucked the blanket around her properly before reaching up and pushing back her messy brown curls from her forehead. He trailed his knuckles over her soft cheek and took comfort in the sleepy sigh that escaped her.
He stood staring at her a moment before he felt Y/N come up behind him and take hold of his bicep, pressing another kiss into the muscle there. He turned to look at her and the concern in her gaze was obvious, making him feel guilty. He bent to kiss her again, more lingering this time, as he buried his fingers in her soft, silky hair.
She kissed him back and wound her arms around his waist. When he pulled away, the warmth of their kisses had burned away some of the worry in her eyes and he was glad. He kissed her forehead and nodded towards the cot. 
“Sorry I woke you. You should go back to sleep.”
She cocked her head and shot him a look with an arched brow. “So should you.”
Dean lifted one corner of his mouth in his best attempt at a smile.
“N’ah, I got my four hours. I’m good.” When Y/N opened her mouth to argue again he spoke before she could. “I have some stuff I gotta work on. So, you go back to bed.”
He pecked her lips once more and then stepped out of her arms, grabbing his jacket as he headed out; March may have been going out like a lamb, but there was still a brisk chill in the air outside the warm tent.
He knew he’d never be able to concentrate on any of the things that he actually should be doing so he just walked. He walked all through the camp, weaving between tents and nodding at the odd person who was out and about like him. He went to the garage and thought about working on Baby, but there really wasn’t any more he could do until they could go out and find her four new tires.
So he kept walking. He walked and walked until he came to the river. Most of its winter ice was broken up and within a couple weeks people would be able to come for cold baths once again which would be welcomed happily after months of unsatisfying basin baths. 
It was probably dangerous for him to be so far from camp without another  person, but he had his gun strapped to his thigh as always and the silence and wide open space around the edge of the river was soothing. He needed an escape from the relentless visions that swam in his mind’s eye. Horrific visions of Y/N and Emma being torn apart right in front of him.
He dropped to the ground to sit; his shoulders were bent and he dug the heels of his hands into his eyes, trying to gouge out the images. 
Every night for weeks now he’d had the same kinds of dreams. There was never any specific situation in the dreams, at least nothing he could remember. But he just knew Y/N and Emma were being hurt and it was his fault. 
Cas still hadn’t heard anything from the angels, no angel radio, and no contact from anyone. But his powers seemed to be mostly back. He still couldn’t teleport, but he could heal - they’d tested it again just to make sure it wasn’t a one time fluke. But Dean cut a long gash in his arm and the angel had mended it quickly and easily. Cas could also tap people to sleep, and he said he’d begun to “see like an angel” again. Dean wasn’t a hundred percent sure exactly what that meant, but it sounded important. 
There was no doubt the angels were back on earth. And they’d be coming for him.
***
Later that afternoon Dean sat at their table, as Y/N planned out a lesson for the next day. But his mind was still miles away, desperately turning possibilities over and over in his mind. For the last couple of months, since they figured out the truth about Y/N, he, Y/N and Cas had been working on a game plan for how to track down other younger generation psychic kids, as well as figuring out how to go about searching for former scientists, doctors, researchers, or anyone who might know enough to try and create a vaccine. 
They knew it would be incredibly hard and time consuming, but they were determined. Or at least Cas and Y/N were determined. Lately Dean had begun considering another possibility.
As he sat worrying and contemplating things, Emma surprised him out of his stupor, climbing into his lap and putting her little hand on his cheek. 
Dean worked up a small smile for her sake, but it obviously wasn’t enough because she spoke in a solemn voice.
“Are you sad?”
Dean shook his head and forced his smile wider. “No, of course not.”
“You look sad.”
Dean marveled at the little girl’s intuition (she was her mother's daughter) but he shook his head again. “N’ah, I’m fine, kiddo. Just thinking.”
“Bout what?”
“Nothing important, just some boring grownup things.” He tugged her braid and changed the subject. “How was school?”
Her eyes lit up and lost their look of worry. “It was good! Mommy read us a book about a dog. He was red and really huge!”
Dean chuckled. “Ah, yeah. Clifford.”
“Yeah!” Emma exclaimed excitedly. “Did you read that book before?”
He nodded. “Oh sure, there are a bunch of Clifford books. I used to read them all the time to…” He stumbled over his words for a moment, but cleared his throat and continued. “I used to read them to my little brother all the time when we were kids.”
As always, thoughts of Sam and who he used to be, sliced a deep cut into his heart, but he was used to how it bled so he could mostly ignore it. Emma’s bright blue eyes turned pleading.
“I want a dog like Clifford. Can we get one?”
Dean smiled. “Don’t think there’s too many dogs like Clifford out there. He’s pretty big and red.”
Emma shrugged. “K, just a normal dog then? Please?”
Dean chuckled and shook his head. Before he could say anything though, Emma was quick to explain herself. 
“He doesn’t have to live in the tent, he could just live in the camp. He could be our camp dog, like Lily is our camp cow.”
Dean sighed as Emma stared up at him, her little face imploring. “Pleeeease.” She repeated. He saw Y/N smirking out of the corner of his eye, but she said nothing.
“We’ll have to see kiddo, okay?” He said with a kiss to the top of Emma's head. Her face fell a little but she shrugged. 
“M’kay.” She mumbled. 
Y/N stood up and reached for Emma’s hand to help her hop down off of Dean’s lap. “Okay, baby, go outside and run off some energy before supper.” She helped Emma into her jacket and the little girl bounded towards the exit. 
“Stay close to the tent.” Y/N called to her.
Emma gave a pout. “Can’t I go see Julianne and Keisha?”
“Fine, but no further.”
Emma took off quickly just in case Y/N changed her mind.
Y/N chuckled lightly and then walked over to where Dean sat. When she got there she lowered herself to her knees in front of him and laid her fingertips against his jaw. 
“Wanna talk about some of those boring grown up thoughts swirling around in your head and keeping you so distracted.”
Dean gave a half smile. “They’re pretty boring.”
“Try me.”
He shrugged and Y/N sighed. “Is this about the dream you had this morning?”
He shook his head. “Dreams. Every night. For weeks.”
Y/N’s brow crinkled. “Why didn’t you tell me about them sooner?”
“What’s to tell? They’re horrific and confusing.”
Dean felt his fear bubbling up in his chest, acidic and almost painful in its intensity. He couldn’t keep Y/N’s earnest gaze; he took the hand she held against his jaw and squeezed it between his own as he lowered his head and stared at the floor.
“What if we…me, you and Emma, what if we just left?”
Y/N’s voice was incredulous. “What are you talking about?”
He finally looked back at her and he knew his expression was probably desperate, but he couldn’t help it. He was desperate. 
“The camp would be fine with Cas in charge. And I’d get him to brand you and Emma and they wouldn’t be able to find us.”
“What are y-? Brand us?” Y/N asked, interrupting her own question.
Dean shook his head dismissively. “Just your ribs. It doesn’t hurt. I mean, not bad anyway. And it keeps them away, keeps them from tracking us.”
“Keeps who away?” Y/N asked, confusion clear on her face and in her voice.
“The angels.” Dean said low and quiet, feeling as though they might be listening in.
Y/N frowned. “Why would you want to hide from angels?”
Dean shook his head. “Look, Cas is an outlier, okay. Most angels are dicks, and some are downright sadistic.”
Y/N’s eyes were round now. “How…how can that be? Aren’t they…I mean I didn’t really go to Sunday School much as a kid, but aren’t angels supposed to be righteous? Aren’t they supposed to protect us?”
Dean scoffed. “In theory. But a lot of them can’t stand humans. And if they’re back now…” He trailed off, shaking his head.
“Okay but,” Y/N was obviously still confused, “even if that’s true, why would that make you want to run from the camp?”
He stared at her a long time, debating telling her everything, the danger they were all in if the angels found him, but in the end he just shook his head. Why should she have to carry around this same awful fear?
“No, it was just a stupid idea. I don’t like the angels, so I’m not anxious to see them again, but you’re right. Running is dumb.”
They’d find us somehow anyway. Dean thought to himself.
“Dean,” Y/N began, obviously not convinced by his dismissive answer. But before she could say more, he cut her off with a kiss. It might have started as a distraction, but that purpose immediately fell away as he delved his tongue into her mouth and devoured her. The soft sounds issuing from the back of her throat drove him crazy and suddenly it was as though he couldn’t get close enough.
He pulled away and they were both panting. Y/N’s smile turned mischievous and she dropped her hands from the open sides of his flannel to his belt buckle.
“Emma won't be back for a while. Think I’ve got time to put a smile on your face?” She said as she slid his belt open. But Dean put his hands on hers, halting her. 
“No, I wanna…” He trailed off and then stood up abruptly, grabbing Y/N’s wrist and pulling her along behind him. He could feel her confusion and he threw a wink over his shoulder as they left the tent. 
“Trust me.”
Y/N’s brow smoothed out and she grinned. “Okay.”
They left the tent and walked east, meeting Johnston along the way. Dean called out to him as they passed, but didn’t really slow down.
“Emma’s over at Monique's. Go tell her to stay there till we come pick her up.”
“Yes sir!” Johnston called back and he ran off to follow the order.
They walked briskly all the way to the garage. If anyone wondered about why the Boss was speeding across the camp with a dangling belt and Y/N in tow, no one stopped them to ask. Dean assumed they could figure it out. 
They reached Baby and Dean wrenched open the back door. Y/N’s face was beet red as she looked around surreptitiously and whispered in a scandalized voice.
“Dean it’s the middle of the day, there are people around.”
Dean shrugged. “So?” He paused a beat and then gave a sideways nod towards the door. “Get in.” He watched the fiery heat bloom in Y/N’s red-ringed eyes and his whole body hardened as it always did when he knew she was thinking lustful thoughts.
With a girlish giggle that made his heart happy and hurt in equal measure, Y/N climbed into the back seat. Dean followed her and closed the door behind him. The curtains were all still drawn, so he simply locked the doors before turning to Y/N and immediately capturing her lips again. He gently pushed her down on the leather seat beneath him. 
He spread kisses across her chest, and she sighed. “I’m gonna have to try and be quiet.” She whispered. 
Dean shook his head and spoke against her skin. “Don’t bother. You won't be.”
She let out a surprised laugh. “Wow, someone’s sure of themselves.”
Dean slid his hand into the waistband of her leggings and pushed aside her panties to slide two fingers through her wet heat and rub them against her clit. Y/N gasped loudly and Dean arched a brow as he watched the pleasure ripple across her face.
“Do you doubt my abilities to make you scream?”
Y/N shook her head back and forth, letting out a keening moan as he pushed his fingers into her body, his jaw clenching at the way her cunt tightened around them. 
She reached for his waistband again, trying to open the button on his jeans, but Dean stopped her once again. 
“No, I just wanna touch you, just wanna watch you while I stroke you and pleasure you.” He found the spongy spot deep inside her, and swept across it teasingly. Y/N let out a cry of pleasure, clapping a hand over her mouth when she realized that she was indeed failing to be quiet. 
He pulled out of her body and raised his fingers to his mouth, sucking her essence from his fingertips. “You’re so fucking delicious, sweetheart.” He put his fingers to her lips, pushing them into her mouth and against her tongue to give her a taste before dragging them down over her chin and the long column of her neck as she arched her back.
He made quick work of stripping her so that she laid beneath him covered only in goosebumps. She reached up to pull off his shirts and he let her, so that she could pet her hands down his torso, and press her nails into his back as he dipped his head to suck on her pulse. He worked his way down her body, letting his tongue explore her, memorize her. 
He refused to try and dissect why he had such a thrumming need to burn every inch of her skin into his memory, to learn her sighs and moans like they were lyrics to his favorite song. 
In the back of his mind he knew why, but he shied away from the truth. He only wanted to feel her move beneath him, only wanted to taste her, only wanted to concentrate on the way her teeth sunk into her bottom lip as she tried to hold in a moan and the way the sound burst out of her anyway when he speared her with his tongue.
He spent the next hour pulling her apart over and over until the sound of his name on her lips was a refrain he knew he’d never be able to forget.
***
A few more days passed and Dean did his best to avoid Y/N’s questioning glances. He didn’t want to talk about the fears that grew stronger inside him every day.
One night as he laid beside Y/N on the small cot, her arm around his waist and her face buried in his chest, he heard rustling outside the tent that sounded like footsteps. It was the middle of the night. There would be no reason for someone to be walking around their tent unless there was some kind of trouble.
He gently disentangled Y/N’s arms from around him and got up, grabbing his gun from just under the cot. As he was leaving he glanced at Emma to make sure she was sleeping peacefully, moving outside the tent when he could see that she was.
He couldn’t see anyone in the immediate area, so he moved stealthily through the tents. Finally he came out into the clear open area between the tents and the spring vegetable plots. He looked towards the big cabin, and couldn’t see anything amiss. Still, something felt off and he decided he’d go talk to the soldiers he had stationed at the southern post for the night.
But before he could move he heard a voice behind him that made his blood run cold.
“Dean! Long time no see!”
He turned slowly, his gun raised, to see the angel Zachariah standing barely six feet away. The angel’s smug round face was exactly the same, same watery gray eyes, same phony smile.
And then Dean realized why everything felt off and strange. He lowered his gun and dropped his arms back to his sides. 
“I’m dreaming.”
Zachariah continued to smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. They were cold and calculating, just as they’d always been. “That’s right. Only way I could talk to you. We’ve been away so long.” 
He looked around the camp and his lip curled. “Can’t say I was very anxious to come back to this smelly, cold rock.”
“Well,” Dean said, his voice hard and quiet, “don’t let me keep you here.”
Zachariah waved at him. “Oh no, the uh boss man, Michael,” he thumbed towards the sky, “he said the time was right for us to strike, finally. At first I thought he was crazy. I mean, once Sam said the big yes and we lost him as a catalyst to make you say yes, I must admit, most of us just gave up. No apocalypse this go round.”
He shrugged. “Then Lucifer leveled the planet with his little virus and you all became very, very boring. And the prayers! Ugh, god! They were nonstop.” 
His voice took on a mocking whine. “‘Oh save us, heavenly hosts.’, ‘Help us god!’, ‘Save us from these monsters!’ It just went on and on!” He shuddered. “It was so loud all the time, so we just had to get away from the whining.”
Dean’s jaw was clenched so tight it was almost painful. He nodded and sneered. “Away from the helpless, dying people that you set up to be killed, you mean?”
Zachariah shrugged. “We tried to tell you that Michael had to be around to fight the adversary. But no, your stubborn independence was more important.”
Dean tried to keep his voice level. “What are you doing here now?”
The angel rolled his eyes. “You’re joking right? Come on Dean, your brother may have been the brains of your little operation, but surely you’re at least smart enough to figure this one out.”
Dean stayed silent, refusing to acknowledge the terror he could feel in the pit of his stomach.
Zachariah sighed deeply. “Come on Dean,” he encouraged, “I’ll help you out. So, if we left because you were so broken and useless when you found out your brother said yes, if we left because we knew we had nothing left to tempt you or force you to say yes…why do you think we’re back now?”
He paused as though he was a teacher waiting for a particularly dull student to answer an easy question.
Dean felt like he might throw up. “You think you can coerce me again now.”
Zachariah shot a finger gun at him. “Bingo! Except we don’t think we can, we know we can.” His voice became cold and lost its fake joviality. “You’ve got things to lose again.”
Dean felt like panic might be choking him and he desperately wanted to wake up and run. He shook his head at the angel superior. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Zachariah rolled his eyes again. “Dean, don’t be ridiculous. We may have been away, but we’ve still been keeping an eye on you. We know all about your little camp of misfit toys, including your pretty, near-monster girlfriend and her pink-cheeked little brat. You care for them, all of them.” He nodded slowly. “We can work with that.”
Dean’s chest rose and fell rapidly as he felt the walls of his nightmares closing in. “You can’t find us. You don’t know where we are, and Cas and I put up as much angel warding as he could take. You won’t locate us.”
Zachariah shrugged. “But you know we will. It’s just a matter of time. Unless you want to save us all some time and just tell me right now?”
Dean’s eyes were blazing with hate as he just stared silently.
“No?” The angel sighed deeply. “Well in that case, I’ll just say, see you real soon.”
Dean came awake slowly, but panic set in quickly. 
He jumped out of bed, calling to Y/N. “Sweetheart, get up. Now!”
Y/N rubbed her hand across her eyes and sat up. “Dean. What’s going on?” She asked in extreme confusion.
But Dean didn’t answer her. Instead he was shaking Emma awake. “Get up, baby. Emma!” The little girl grumbled sleepily, but Dean forced her to sit up. “I’m sorry kiddo, but you need to put on really warm pants and a shirt. Dress warm, we might be outside for a while, okay? Your big boots and your scarf too.”
“Dean, stop.” Y/N was standing up now and moved over to grab his arm. “What is this? What?”
Before Dean could answer Cas walked into the still dark tent, bringing a lantern with him. Dean turned to him and Cas’ usually stoic, solemn face showed fear.
“They’re coming.”
Dean closed his eyes and nodded. “Yeah, I know. Zachariah came to me in a dream.” He gritted his teeth. “Piece of shit.” 
“What’s the plan?” Cas asked.
Dean nodded and answered as he was rushing around, pulling on a flannel over his t-shirt. He’d worn his jeans to bed, so he simply shrugged into his green jacket and started loading up his duffle bag. 
“So, we gotta go.” He told Cas. “You need to brand them, so they’re off angel radar too.” He said, rubbing a hand across his ribs. “I figure if we head out within the hour, we might be able to get a decent head start on them.”
Cas was shaking his head as Dean finished. “You can’t just leave the camp. Zachariah will torch the whole thing just to draw you back.”
Dean refused to admit the truth in Cas’ words. “No, that’s…look if I’m not around he’d have nothing to gain from burning the camp. It wouldn’t -”
Cas cut him off. “I told you, he’d burn it to bring you back, or just out of sheer spite and you know it.”
Dean opened his mouth to continue the argument when Y/N’s shout interrupted them.
“Enough. Stop talking right this instant and explain to me exactly what it is that you’re talking about, or I swear I’m going to lose my mind.”
Silence reigned for a few moments as Emma stared up at them all as though she was in the middle of a very vivid and kind of scary dream.
Dean stared into Y/N’s eyes for a moment before he decided she deserved to know the whole truth even if it was messy and painful. He’d just have to try and tell her quickly. 
He reached forward to squeeze her hand and then dropped it as he paced around the tent continuing to fill his duffle bag with supplies they’d need. 
“You remember me telling you about my brother Sam?” Y/N nodded, but Dean was just barreling on. “Well, I let it seem as though Sam died, but he didn’t, not really.”
Y/N was watching him roam around the room and he glanced at her quickly before continuing. “He’s uh, he’s Lucifer’s vessel. He’s…Lucifer took him over.”
Y/N’s eyes almost bulged out of her head. “Like…the devil? Are you telling me your brother is the devil?”
Dean shook his head and glanced at Emma, but she seemed to be half asleep as she watched them. “No, not really. Lucifer is just using his body, walking around in it. See angels don’t have form on earth, they’re just a bright white light. So, they have to possess a human, a vessel.”
Y/N looked over at Cas. “Wait, this isn’t what you really look like?” 
Cas shrugged. “Well, my vessel, Jimmy Novak, his soul is in heaven. His body was exploded into oblivion, by an archangel, which also should have destroyed me. But God brought me back, and fashioned me this vessel. But it’s only me in here now.”
Y/N stared at him, blinking slowly for a moment before tilting her head. “Um…what?”
“Look, that doesn’t matter right now.” Dean said dismissively before continuing with his rapid fire explanation.
“Unlike demons, an angel needs permission to enter a human body, they need the person’s consent. So, at some point, Sam said yes to the devil. I don’t know why. I wasn’t…I wasn’t around when he said yes.”
He looked back at Y/N and he could tell she was desperately trying to take in all he was saying; her voice was contemplative as she spoke. 
“Okay, that’s…I’m so sorry, Dean. That must have been horrible for you. But I’m still unclear about why we’re running away. You said the other day you wanted to hide from the angels? Why?”
Dean took in a deep breath, straightening up and finally dropping his duffle bag to the floor before crossing his arms over his chest. 
“Because I’m a vessel too.”
Y/N’s eyes grew wide again. “For Lucifer?”
Dean shook his head and resumed his movements, no longer packing, just pacing. “No, for Michael, another archangel. The angels all believed Sam and I were destined to be their vessels on earth, allowing them to fight some epic battle that would bring on the apocalypse.” His voice was harsh with anger. 
“When we found out about these supposed destinies, we both swore we wouldn’t do it, that they couldn’t make us. But I…well, I abandoned Sam, so I have no idea what they did to make him say yes. I was hurt and angry, and I truly thought we’d do better apart. So, I left my little brother to deal with the devil by himself.”
He stopped pacing and turned away from Y/N completely. “I’ll never forgive myself.”
“Dean.” Y/N’s voice was soft but he turned back to her and waved away her sympathy.
“None of that is the point though. The point is that they could never get me to say yes, but they were desperate to. And now they’re coming back because…well according to the asshole angel who was just in my dream, I have -” he closed his eyes. “I have something to lose now.”
Y/N’s face was scared, but he could see she was fighting to keep her voice level. “Okay, can I ask, maybe…I mean, if you said yes, then wouldn’t that make you powerful, maybe you could try to fight the devil, maybe you could push him out of your brother. Or maybe, I mean if angels can heal, think of all the good you could do in this sick world with that kind of power.”
Dean was shaking his head. “No, Y/N you don’t understand. If I say yes and Michael takes over, I’ll be…I’ll be gone. I’ll have no power inside my own body. I won’t be able to make any decisions or do anything to change Michael's course. And his only course would be to end Lucifer and end my little brother in the process.”
“And,” Cas interjected, “Archangels rarely leave a vessel alive.”
Dean wished Cas had left out that little tidbit as Y/N’s face became more and more horrified. She took deep steadying breaths as Emma finally climbed out of her cot and walked over to Dean to wrap her arms around his forearm. 
“You’re going?” She asked in a sleepy voice. Dean shook his head but before he could answer her they heard a loud scream and Cas stiffened. 
“It’s too late. They’re here.”
Dean's stomach clenched so tightly it felt like someone had kicked him in the gut. Within seconds they could smell smoke and hear the crackle of flames. Dean grabbed Emma up in his arms and ran out towards the noise. As they emerged from the tents they could see the big cabin burning in the distance, flames shooting high. 
Standing barely ten feet in front of them was Zachariah and four other angels.
As they stood staring at the angels, Johnston and Risa joined them, seeming to understand instinctively that this ominous, incongruous group of men in suits were a bigger problem than the fire.  
They all looked to where the campers were gathering and scrambling forward with buckets of water from the rain barrels that sat beside the school and storage shed. They quickly formed an assembly line and began moving the buckets back and forth to the cabin. 
But Dean could see they wouldn’t be able to save it. The best they could do was keep the fire from spreading to the surrounding trees. 
He looked at Zachariah with hatred dripping from his pores. “Stop this, right now, you son of a bitch.”
Zachariah pretended offense. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. A lightning bolt struck it. Just an unlikely act of God.”
Dean didn’t say anything, but when the angel’s gaze fell on Emma as she clung to Dean’s neck, he turned to Y/N who pulled her daughter away and then set her on the ground behind her. Instantly Johnston, Risa and Cas closed ranks in front of Y/N and Emma.
Zachariah just smiled. “Aw, that’s really adorable.” He looked back at Dean. “But you know the strength I wield. Do you really think your little wall of protectors is gonna stop me?”
Dean’s mind was reeling, terrified and racing for solutions to this utterly inescapable situation.
When he didn’t immediately answer, Zachariah’s face became thunderous. “We are NOT playing this game again, Dean Winchester!” He barked out before snapping his fingers.
Suddenly Johnston fell to his knees, clutching his throat as blood bubbled over his fingers. Y/N and Emma screamed in horror and Risa shouted out a denial as her friend and brother-in-arms fell at her feet. Cas turned, reaching out to touch the soldier to try and heal him, but two angels bolted forward to hold him back. 
Dean scrambled to Johnston’s side, across from where Risa knelt. The young soldier was deathly pale as Dean held his head in his hands.
“It’s okay, soldier. You hear me? Stay, stay with us now.” He ordered him, even though he knew he was asking for the impossible. Red blood stained the young soldier’s neck and his shirt as his life's blood spilled into the muddy, wet ground beneath him.
“Eric.” Dean called to him softly as he gripped his shoulder. “Eric.” The young man looked up at him and it was the first time he’d ever looked at Dean without fear or trepidation of some kind in his eyes. A soft smile graced his lips and Dean wished he knew what he was seeing as he closed his eyes and let his last breath rattle from his chest. Risa pressed her forehead to his, crying quietly.
Dean’s gaze was scorchingly hot as he stood back up and looked across at the uncaring monster in front of him.
Zachariah shrugged. “Just a little reminder of how quick I can make everything change.” Again he looked at Emma where she was crying in Y/N’s arms, and raised his arm to snap his fingers again.
“No!” Dean screamed out, leaping in front of Y/N and Emma as though he could possibly save them if that snap came. “Okay, yes! Yes!” He shouted.
His breathing was ragged and tears clogged his throat. “Yes. Please. Please don't hurt them.” He hated that he was begging, but he’d do whatever it took to keep Y/N and Emma breathing and safe.
Zachariah slowly lowered his hand, a smug smile on his sneering face. “Glad negotiations went better this time around. So, let’s call Micheal down shall we?”
Dean held up a hand. “Yes, but just…put out that fire.” He said pointing at the still blazing inferno. Some people seemed to realize that something was happening across the camp, but they were all quite occupied putting out the fire. Zachariah shrugged and nodded and the blaze was suddenly out, black smoke rising from the ruins of the big cabin.
Dean took a deep breath. “And let me…say goodbye to them.” 
Zachariah rolled his eyes but waved at him to hurry up. Dean turned to Cas, ignoring the asshole angels who were no longer holding him, but were still close behind. He called Risa over and she finally left her friend’s side to join them. He put a hand on each of their shoulders. 
“The camp’s gonna need you both to help get past all of this. I know you won’t let them down.” They nodded and Dean pulled them into a three way hug, before clapping a hand to Cas’ neck. “You take care of Emma and Y/N, you promise?”
Cas nodded. “Yes. I will.” The angel’s bright blue eyes were dull, but his voice was strong and Dean knew he meant it with his whole angelic being.
Finally he turned to Y/N and Emma and his heart lurched at their tear stained faces, both so alike. As he approached them, Emma ran out of Y/N’s arms and he dropped to a knee so he could wrap his arms around her as she launched herself at him.
Her hot tears soaked into his jacket as sobs shuddered through her small frame. “Don’t go.” She whispered brokenly. Dean squeezed her tighter before he pulled her back so he could look at her. He brushed back her always unruly curls from her forehead and kissed her there. 
“I gotta go, kiddo. I’m so sorry.”
Emma took big hiccuping breaths as she responded. “Because of the bad man?” She said looking across the clearing at Zachariah.
Dean forced her to look away from the sadistic angel. “Yeah, baby, because of the bad man. But I…” He brushed away her tears from her cheeks. “Need you to know that I’d stay if I could. If I could, I’d never walk away from you. I swear.”
Emma nodded and he prayed she would remember that and be reassured that another father hadn’t just walked away from her.
He tried to smile, but worried she saw through it. He pulled her close again, and spoke quietly. “I love you bigger than big.”
Emma sniffed and spoke into the front of his shirt. “And taller than tall?”
He pulled away and managed a real smile as he cupped her cheeks. “And taller than tall.”
He stood up and took Emma’s hand, ushering her over to Risa who picked her up and rubbed the little girl's back as she sobbed. 
He moved towards Y/N, and stared at her for a moment, completely incapable of saying goodbye.
Y/N shook her head, her tears falling fat and fast. She looked slightly shell-shocked by everything that had happened in barely an hour. Her voice was shaky and thick.
“I don’t know what to…” She shook her head again. “This can’t possibly be happening.”
Zachariah’s bored tone cut between them. “Oh, it’s happening. And it better happen faster if we don’t want any more acts of God to occur.”
Dean closed his eyes briefly and then opened them to pull Y/N into his embrace. He lowered his voice so only she could hear, murmuring the words against her temple. 
“Don’t think about this. Don’t think about what’s happening. Instead imagine we’re still just lying in bed. I have my arms wrapped tightly around you and we’re both safe. We can hear Emma talking in her sleep across the room. Close your eyes and stay there, in that moment.” He pulled back to lean his forehead against hers. “Visit me there from time to time, okay?”
Y/N was nodding, and her breathing was ragged. But she reached up and kissed him gently. “This isn't goodbye. It can't be. I won’t believe it. So, as far as I’m concerned, we’ll be back there, in that moment soon.”
Dean gave her a tilted smile. “I love you, you know? I should have said it so much sooner, cause it’s been true for a long time.”
Y/N closed her eyes as though she was in pain. Maybe she was, he was; it felt like a ton of bricks was crushing his chest.
But he concentrated on her bright, red-ringed eyes as she spoke. “I love you too. So much.” Y/N’s tight smile crumpled and she fell back into his arms sobbing.
As Dean crushed her against him one last time, he could hear Zachariah groan in frustration and then begin chanting words in Enochian. The atmosphere began to change around them as the earth rumbled. Dean felt himself being pulled out of Y/N’s arms as Zachariah’s patience ran out and he yanked him away. 
“Don’t look at the light!” Dean called to Y/N as a blinding white light enveloped them all. He heard a kind of whispering in his mind, it wasn’t exactly words, but he understood it. It was a question.
He looked back at Y/N and Emma and gave the only answer that would keep them safe.
“Yes.”

hi! hope youre doing well! can i request something for reboot jason and his s/o is a gamer and they try to teach him how to play a video game and its just silly and it make the reader laugh? ❤️
Gaming 101
Summary: Reader has a fun night giving Jason the run down on one of their favorite hobbies.
Warnings: Mentions of guns (in the video game)
Word Count: 533
A/N: I decided to make this into a short little drabble. I hope you like it!
Tumblr media
"Okay, now press that."
Jason did as he was told and saw the gun on the screen shoot out a bullet, hitting the opponent in the leg.
"That was great! Now aim, and do it again."
He used the little joystick to move his view up a little. And then, hitting that same button again, he managed to shoot his target in the chest, killing him instantly.
You laughed excitedly, happy to see Jason get his first kill.
He simply looked over at you with soft eyes. He loved seeing you so happy, and even though he still didn't quite know what he was doing, he would be glad to keep trying if it meant you'd continue smiling at him like this.
When you first pulled out the console a couple hours ago, Jason found himself staring at the weird contraption in utter confusion.
He'd never quite seen anything like it. And although you mentioned video games to him before, this was nothing like what he had imagined.
Just the concept of trying to play for the first time was enough to make Jason feel nervous. He knew how happy these games made you, and he was worried he'd let you down somehow.
However, his worry was quickly eased when he first picked up the controller, earning some giggles from you.
"This might be hard for you," you spoke, motioning to his hands. "The whole controller is the size of your palm."
He had looked down at that, realizing that just one hand was engulfing the entire device. It made him wonder whether he'd be able to actually press the buttons or not, but seeing your giddy smile was enough to make him feel comfortable.
After this, it felt like he was in school. You were showing him all the different moves and telling him what each part of the controller did. It took him a while to get used to holding the device and move his fingers in conjunction with yours.
But he got the hang of it eventually. So now here you both were, watching the funny character on the screen run around and shoot anything that moved.
Your character had almost died numerous times because Jason almost shot you. Even in a video game, Jason seemed to have a killing instinct.
But he was also still protective.
A little too protective since anytime you let out a scream, he was button mashing his controller trying to get to you.
But even during this, you couldn't help but laugh at Jason's antics. Watching him bounce around in his seat with this tiny little device in his hands made you all giggly.
And Jason loved it.
"Careful! I think there's a guy on your left."
With this, Jason accidentally turned right and was killed.
"No!" you yelled at the screen. "Aw, we were so close to beating this level."
Jason just looked at you with bright eyes.
"I suppose you might wanna take a break? We've been at this for a while."
He just shook his head, raising up the controller slightly.
"Again?" you asked, smiling.
He nodded.
"Okay!"
And with that, you restarted the game for the 20th time that night.

NaNoWriMo PAC: What Character Could You Write Into Your Next Story?
Tumblr media
Hey y'all, arriving to the party fashionably late for my last installment of the PAC marathon. I've decided to take up the NaNoWriMo challenge this year and wanted to use some cards to generate new plots and protagonists for my fanfiction novel. Then I figured, why not pull up a few cards to see what kind of characters you could fit into your own creations? It could be for the month long challenge, or for something you're writing on your own time. It's just interesting to see what the cards bring up!
(Trust me, this PAC was planned! I'm actively working on my writing as I type, I swear ;D )
To help you choose between the piles, I have chosen four images representing a few of my unique gel and ballpoint pens. Pick a photo to find your mystery character below. Note that each pile allows for a variety of options as everyone writes a different story. I also included "MBTI" types as keywords though not all the types may be represented in these piles, it's chosen on intuition.
Pile 1, Black Pen - Clear Quartz Pile 2, Blue Pen - Mermaid Pile 3, Green Pen - Prickly Cactus Pile 4, Rainbow Pen - Cat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pile 1: Black Pen - Clear Quartz
(Visionary, Sagitarius Moon - Optimism, The Sentinel, 71. Aplomb, Mix Tapes, Shadow, Mirage; 8 of Coins, XIII Death, 9 of Wands, Queen of Pentacles, 5 of Cups, 6 of Swords) MBTI Energy: ENTJ, ENFJ, ESTP, ESFP
Tumblr media
Pile 1, your character is very likely the main character. Even if they become a supporting cast member, their personality has a chance to steal the show. Even if they're in the background, they may become the dark horse. Plucky is the word that comes to mind with their personality. They have a way of seeing the world and no one is going to mess with that level of clarity. This character is the type to see something through to the end, without cutting corners. They are the pollyanna type that smiles in the face of adversity and laughs in the presence of fear. They're full of life and fury, and will not let tiny things slow them down, though major obstacles may force them to come to a screeching halt. They have the inner fire to dry themselves off from a bad rainstorm and head out the next day as if it never rained.
This is the kind of character who leads or is somehow the representative of an empire or big league corporation. For all their power and potential, they still live in the shadow of someone greater, like siblings competing to be the best violinist, or a young woman becoming CEO of her mother's company. How they approach this issue is up to whether they become the Face or the Heel. A great fortune or privilege could be passed down in the form of inheritance, to which your character must deal with the backlash of being associated with such a predecessor. In spite of your character's perceived confidence, this challenge will inevitably slow them down and prevent them from being more help than they could be with their various resources. Events will have them rethinking their previous position and actions regardless of moral outlook, not wanting to deal with the harsh consequences that may come from making a wrong move.
There's a good chance this character will be dropped into an environment outside of their comfort zone, to a place or state that looks bleak, when it seems like it can't get worse. Their job may just be to hold light and offer comedy relief, though it won't be the comical character that makes a fool out of themselves. If others don't believe them, they will at some point, and they won't expect all this wisdom and profundity coming out of such a person. Your character may see something for what it is and offer relief and advice, or will learn how to use their expansive perspectives to help them out of difficult chapters. Other characters may or may not wish to take their advice. Comic relief is not to be confused as a two dimensional being who never feels sad or who can't acknowledge the dimmer aspects of life. There may be times where they even show grief and must find ways to work around said grief and bring their light forward for healing and community strength.
When the people of their community are ready to move on, this character will be there to wave the banner and forge the new path to follow. This is the energy of Moses leading people out of Egypt, except your character can't help but wisecrack along the uncertain and foreboding way. Whether main or side character, they'll be the type to shout "well, what are you all waiting for? Let's get to it!" and move out before anyone else takes the first step. They're the first in the audience to clap when they see something they know they like, not waiting for another's opinion. Whether they elevate or step down from their positions by the third act, they can offer boons to other characters in the story. They, in the end, can be accounted for their unique contributions, if not in resources then in sheer wit and boundless tenacity.
Tumblr media
Pile 2: Blue Pen - Mermaid
(Warrior, Taurus Moon - Exaltation, The Diviner, 41. Nostalgia, Passing Notes, Pickle, Waves; II High Priestess, Queen of Cups, 2 of Swords, Page of Wands, Knight of Coins, 3 of Swords) MBTI Energy: INFJ, ENFJ, ISFJ, ESFJ
Tumblr media
This character isn't just a warrior, but one with a big heart. Like a guardian of something sacred. I'm seeing Princess Mononoke and yet I'm hearing Xena: Warrior Princess theme music. This seems like someone who has strong psychic power or influence in nature or the community. They are not necessarily an expert at what they do, but it comes naturally to them. This power could have something to do with retrocognition, or understanding pieces of the past. It could also have to do with growing new things, planting abilities, or even a form of conjuration (manifesting from thin air). The power may be channeled through your character for them to pass on information to their tribe, their power may be simply transferring messages from another source. Or they could receive messages from another source on how to use their powers, and a special connection is formed in between.
Your character feels passionate and greatly motivated about what they do; they may not be a master of using their power but they could be on a good career track in your story, with a chance for elevated status near the end. Part of the plot could revolve around their gradual development and growth, particularly during challenging chapters or acts. It seems like your character carries a lot of youthful, can-do energy in spite of their position and in the current climate of their time. They may not identify as female but hold a lot of powerful feminine energy, like a lioness who knows when to relax and when to attack for the pride's sake. Their sense of boldness and strength is married with their heart based decision making. They consider the effects their actions will have before proceeding. They put their loved ones and overall mission ahead of themselves.
There could be blockages that come along, preventing your character from using their abilities. If they are prophetic, they may have to share bad news and receive a blow to their reputation, or like Kassandra not be believed by those most at risk. As a conjurer, they could slowly wear down their energy or be restricted from using it by dogmatic authorities. Or they could even risk using it for their own personal gain in a desperate enough situation. As a hero, they could learn to stay true to their mission, or as a villain choose to turn away. Why would they turn? To run from the pain of the past, or to make good on what they do to help others? Either way, your character will be made to confront different sides of themselves. They will be able to glean deep insight into what's happening around them, in a way that may not make sense to other characters.
As a neutral and minor character, they could represent a person who offers resilience during a hard time, dispensing advice to the protagonist. They can offer protection and development for your protagonist. They could offer food, shelter, and clothing. They could be the leader of a small troupe of soldiers who relies more on strategy and perfect timing than brute force. They would lead in a spunky manner, I'm thinking of the Lost Boys from Peter Pan in particular. Someone who's had to prove themselves in combat to be worthy of an elevated position, but doesn't let the status get to their head. They can stay grounded in by addressing issues that may have been brewing for long periods of time through bringing other characters together with a plan.
Tumblr media
Pile 3: Green Pen - Prickly Cactus
(Rebel, Aquarius Mercury - Originality, The Painter, 38. Moving Forward, CDs and DVDs, Bubble Gum, Galaxy, Delivery Brown; Knight of Wands, 6 of Wands, I Magician, 9 of Wands, 4 of Wands, 10 of Swords) MBTI Energy: ENTP, INTP, ESTP, ISTP
Tumblr media
This pile couldn't be more clear about your character! They are so straightforward in their pursuits. This is the character possessing some kind of genius or mad scientist potential. They may have made some form of alien contact or gain hold of ancient or future technology. This could be the kind of character who creates avante garde material that disrupts a social order. This is a character who could invent something that twists how their community sees everything around them forever. Time or space travel could play a role here, very likely involving futuristic worlds or gadgetry. Wherever they found themselves, this is not someone who wants to or likes to look back on their decisions.
Chances are, your character has a strong bond to either what they have or what they do. They may have to relinquish something, or travel to a time or space that does not gel with their knowledge or personality. This could cause them to feel lost or outcast from society or the group. A character that comes to mind is Peridot from Steven Universe, who had a very clingy and needy attachment to her technology. This is something that could be greatly challenged during the story. This is an already dynamic person, but someone who could easily turn arrogant and dogmatic about their approach if not tempered with some kind of setback. If they're used to pride, they will learn humility. If they are a hermit who can't open up about their inventions, they may be put on center stage to showcase it regardless of whether they're truly ready for the attention.
This is also giving off a bit of starving artist vibes, or there's a situation where, if you character is a creator or inventor, they can't get their creations out to the world for some reason. Doing so could likely create some net benefit for others, even if they don't understand it at first, but to do so there must be some level of overcoming the fear or defeat or rejection. They could have someone actively keeping the technology or creation away as they know what it could be capable of doing. There may be risk or overusing, overextending, overcompensating, or overestimating how the technology or science will help the community involved. Your character may come to this realization and perhaps decide to shelve or retreat their innovation on behalf of a request or demand on part of other characters to fulfill.
As a hero, they may learn to work through rejection and embrace their nonconformity, like Happy Feet. They may have to help the community with their inventions as a major sacrifice. Or as a villain they may act more like Syndrome from Incredibles, using their incredible genius to attain fame and status. They may serve as a metaphor for the risks of abusing knowledge and technology. As a minor supporting character, they may assist the protagonist using their genius brain or skills with different tools. They don't have to be an inventor--they could work with technology in other ways, like piloting a spaceship or working alongside giant mecha fighters. They may focus their goals on awakening others and bringing important concepts to light, even if they're doing it by traveling through time. The possibilities are as limitless as their mind.
Tumblr media
Pile 4: Rainbow Pen - Cat
(Athlete, Gemini Moon - Adaptability, The Wise One, 18. Festivity, Arcades, Sunrise, Buzzfeed Yellow; 6 of Swords, King of Coins, King of Swords, 4 of Swords, 3 of Swords, Ace of Swords) MBTI Energy: ENTJ, INTJ, INFJ, ISTJ
Tumblr media
Wow look at all these swords and two kings! This particular character means business throughout the ups and downs of life. Whether they arrive to the story in the beginning or close to the end, they will be known for their seasoned experience and heavy dose of wisdom. This is the type of character who would mentor the hero through applying steady by-the-books discipline, or the hero who runs to the mountains to train for many years. This is the energy of someone who stops at nothing to see their ideas turn to results, no matter how long it takes or how many sacrifices they must make in the long run. In spite of their wizened abilities, however, they may need to learn how to slow down and approach matters with a more gentle and cheerful touch. This character is a graceful combination of brain and brawn, with a good dose of heart at times like Uncle Iroh.
It could be that they take up martial arts and act as an instructor for a group of students. They could be more involved in intellectual challenges like chess and be viewed by others as a paragon of the game. They could be a successful lawyer who uses both their wit and their many years of experience at the firm to win their cases. They could be a military general who finds new ways to train rookies into becoming indomitable warriors. In whatever career they find themself in, this character will be seen as competent and good at remaining cool in scenes where other characters would panic. They are reserved about dispensing their wisdom to others, only wanting to say and do as much as is necessary to allow events to move. There is a cold and somewhat calculated demeanor present in this character whether they align with good or evil.
They may have an intimidating cover that belies a more vulnerable disposition. It could be that their focus on career and proficiency has cost them a few relationships in their life. This is a very James Bond type of pile, in the simplest sense. Bond is very much the ace but also the inevitable loner wolf. It's up to you how you wish to subvert or deconstruct his tropes. I also see Sanji from One Piece in this pile. This is a type of character who, if emotions affect them in any serious way, it will be through powerful and difficult ones to overcome like grief, regret, and need for vengeance. They may be utterly driven to win in spite of who gets hurt. They could be the type to play very neutral, or even on the side of good, until push comes to shove, until someone they care about gets hurt. This is the kind of character who cherishes past relationships deeply because they are often the only thing they have to hold on to when they're used to leaving the rest behind.
This character knows how to easily move from place to place, finding a new undercover job to do or trying to stay on the run from evil organizations in hot pursuit. They may or may not necessarily enjoy the traveling, or constantly changing identities or lifestyles in order to accomplish their goals. They may travel from remote places to train, but miss something hidden in plain sight which will give them some important key to advance the plot. This hidden thing likely involves relationships, or healing from past trauma. This character must look into their own inner wounds in order to be the strongest kind of teacher or provider for others. Their heartache can give way to finding the heart to stand up for good, or consume them into a toxic side. But it will be a deciding factor in their development. This character is no stranger to hardship but it's up to individual choices that bring them to where they end up. If they do have a happy ending, they may finally get the chance to warm up and join the rest of the cast in their merry denouement, if they do not go the way of the noble sacrifice (but if they do they may be greatly honored for it).

Lance Sweets as a Dad headcanons:
Paring: Dad!Lance Sweets x Twins x Wife!Reader
Summary: headcanons about you and Lance being parents to twins.
MasterList
Tumblr media
It's no secret Lance is an amazing dad, your twins were a bit of a suprise though. You guy had just gotten engaged when you found out.
He was so happy when you told him, he always wanted to be dad and start a family with you.
“I'm gonna be a dad!” he cheered as he picked you up and spung you around.
He'll always make sure your comfortable and happy through out the whole pragency.
He will alway volunteer to go to the store and get whatever food your craving at the time.
you guys were so excited when you found out you were having twins, you grew up with a brother(Hodgins) so you were glad your kids had each other like you had Jack.
Giving birth sucks... As most did, Lance and Angela were there the whole time comforting you and cheering you on while your brother and the rest of your friends family were in the waiting room.
Lance cried a bit while holding them. “they're so tiny” he smiled looking at his daughter
You chuckled sarcastically as you cuddled your son “don't tell that to the person who pushed them out”
Your set of twins was a boy and a girl, Dean Seeley Sweets and Charlotte Jack Sweets. They both have your eyes and Lance's dark curly hair.
Dean is very much like you, he has your smile and is very compassionate like you. He also gets attached to the same interests you have, he loves Elvis just as much as you do and he wants to be a Forensic Entomologist like you and his uncle Jack.
Charlotte is like Lance, very Geeky and has a heart of gold like her dad, she loves animals and wants to be a Vet but she also wants to be a Shrink like Lance, it changes every other month.
They were very easy baby's to take care of, Dean was a cryer though. Lance was always getting up in the middle of the night to comfort him before he woke up you and Charlotte. “please don't wake up mommy” he mumbled as he rocked his son.
Your kids don't get jealous of each other, they love you and Lance both equally but Dean is a mama's boy and Charlotte is a Daddy's girl.
They're spoiled roaten, Lance would give your twins the world if he could. Your more of the protective one, you'll beat someone up if they harm your babbies.
You guys always show interest in the things your kids love, Lance trys to remember all your daughter's stuff animals names and try to learn how to play with pokemon cards with your son.
Your always watching their favorite movies with them with curiosity and your always willing to listen to their rants or what there passionate about.
Your daughter loves Monster High dolls, she has almost every character and she gets Lance to play with her all the time. He's spent so much time watching the cartoons and playing with her he knows all the names.
He knows Gil and Franky are her favorites, there was a couple of months were Charlotte tried to convince her dad Gil was her boyfriend. She carried the call every where and he was her favorite.
“it's kinda werid? I mean I have a daughter too and I get to some level but he's a fish boy” Seeley said one day.
Lance shrugged as he held the doll. “he doesn't talk back, he doesn't check her out, and he won't cheat”
Just as he said that your daughter came running in with her cute little angry face and her arms cross. “he's Jackass, Daddy! He likes Christine's Barbie more than me”
The boys tried not to laugh but that the same time Lance gave Seeley a side eye, knowing Christine taught Charlotte the word Jackass.
“I stand corrected” Lance said, tossing the doll on the couch.
Your son Dean doesn't really like playing with them, he only play dolls with his sister if he has your old Elvis Barbie doll.
Your son likes music and Pokémon. He grew up listening to old rock music with you, he also wants to learn how to play guitar.
Angel's father is kinda like a grandpa to them, you nor Lance have parents alive so your brother's father-in-law was more than happy to be a grandpa to your twins. Dean wants to learn how to play guitar from him.
Lance trys his hardest not to get mad, even if your kids did something uneceptable. After he got on to them he'll immediately feel bad, he doesn't want them to be afraid of him like he was all his foster parents.
“your an amazing dad and they'll always love you”
Like I said before, he'll give the twins the world if he could but they want a dog, so he'll settle on that. He brought home a black lab puppy one day. The twins were so happy and named him Duke.
Jack and Angela are literally the best aunt and uncle out there, just putting it out there and the twins are really close with Michael Vincent.
Christine is also close to the twins too, Dean has a small innocent crush on her but they're both to young to really understand.
Seeley and Temperance are also amazing 'aunt and uncle'. Charlotte loves being around Seeley and playing with monster trucks with him. Dean always has a listing ear to Temperance if she wants to explain something scientific or talk about a new plot for her book.
You and Lance invested in a California king size bed because the twins are always trying to bunk with you...you also have a black lab joing in on the sleep over too. Getting the big bed just helps everyone be comfortable.
Your always taking them to lab and showing them around, Cam loves them too much to really say anything. They don't mind going to Bureau with Lance but is kinda boring to them, they like saying hi to James Aubrey and Caroline though.
They love going to Seely's office, there's so much stuff to play with. Lance made a joke how Dean is allowed to play with Seeley's bobble head and he's not.
Charlotte just likes setting in the comfy chairs in Lance's office and read Dr. Seuss books.
Lightsaber battles between Dean and Lance all the time, and coincidence or not they're always doing to while you and Charlotte are trying to watch Supernatural or Grey's anatomy.
Dean just gets crazier and crazier the older he gets, in a good way of course. Him and Michael Vincent would be out side playing with firecrackers or digging a hole while Christine and Charlotte set quietly in the house coloring and watching cartoons.
The twins are close but they get into fights alot. Sometimes it worrys you, you don't want them hating each other. “they love each other Honey and it's just a phase... Not every sibling is gonna be as close as you and Jack are”
You know he's right and not even a week later the two were glued to the hip again.
You truly believe your family is perfect, your twins are smart and have hearts of gold and they have an amazing dad.
Lance feels like the luckyest man alive and he couldn't be happier. He also couldn't be prouder of his children.

ELLO ELLO!
can I request shimeji alkaloid or crazy:b? I like your idea of shimeji of Valkyrie and knights... (灬º‿º灬)♡ it's so cute and precious. Hopping to see your ideas for either of those two units since they are both some crazy batch of idols . ♡(ӦvӦ。)
(*^3^)/~♡Hope you have a good day and good gacha too.
- honey🐝
Tumblr media
Alkaloid as shimeji buddies !!
Synopsis : What would the members of Alkaloid be like as your little shimeji buddies ??
Era : N / A
Warning/s : N / A
Mentioned Character/s : G/N!Reader / Hiiro / Aira / Mayoi / Tatsumi
A/N : HI HONEY 🐝 !! Thank you so much 🥺 I’m super glad that you liked shimeji Knights and Valkyrie <333 For this one I did Alkaloid but once I’m done with all the other requests I might do Crazy:B if that’s ok with you~!! :D
I hope you have a good day and good gacha too !! I'm sorry that this took a while to finish <3
•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•
Hiiro Amagi :
There’s never a dull moment with Hiiro around !! He’s just so friendly and loves to chat with you~ The two of you would often chat through the night if you’re not careful though… If Hiiro does notice how late it got, he would apologize profusely for keeping you awake. Please reassure him that it’s ok !!
He’s surprisingly a really good study buddy !! Even though the material’s new to him, he would look at the various example questions and learns quickly !! He would happily help you through it all !! It’s quite cute seeing him so concentrated as he studies the question at hand because he’s just so determined to help you out~
If he notices you starting to overwork yourself, he will physically drag your cursor away and minimize your tabs himself. This is his way of saying “go take a break for a while!” which ends up with the two of you either casually chatting or doing something else together such as watching youtube videos, scrolling through social media, etc.
Hiiro used to go up to the screen and place his hands on it as a way to comfort you but, at some point, you placed your finger on top of his tiny hands which surprised him !! He looked at your finger and gave you a big smile and said “Look !! Now we’re holding hands~” This later became a habit and now he would unconsciously put a hand on the screen [ even if he’s doing something else ] so that the two of you can "hold hands" !!
He’s super fond of your affection and would always reciprocate with twice as much !! He absolutely adores your headpats the most and would often take your cursor and put it on his head if he ever wants them <3 Hiiro sometimes hangs from your cursor as you bring him to another spot on your screen~ He’s just a fan of holding your cursor as a whole because it’s another way of him feeling close to you :)
If you’re both doing your own work, it ends up with you checking up on him instead of the other way around because he tends to get tunnel vision if he’s too focused on a particular task. So please make sure to snap him out of it so that he can relax for a while !! Though, if you get intense tunnel vision as well, this somehow snaps him out of his own solely because he wants to make sure that you're not pushing yourself too hard !!
Hiiro’s quite active as a whole~ He tends to move around your screen a lot [ especially when he’s doing things for you such as helping you find your files, moving your folders, etc. ] and he also climbs the side of your screen with ease !! Most of the time he hangs out on the top of your app windows because he’s at eye level with you~
He also participates with you when it comes to your hobbies !! He’ll protect you/your character when you’re playing video games [ and yes! He’s a very good partner !! Hiiro always got your back <3 ], he’ll talk to you when you’re both watching TV shows or movies, etc~ He just loves to do things with you <3 
Hiiro wants to make sure that you’re safe every time you use your computer so he ends up becoming your personal antivirus protector !! You’ll never get a virus ever again with Hiiro around~ He’ll also steer you away from any sketchy websites or ads that you might come across... Hey !! Don’t click that link! It has 4 virus’ attached to it so it’s better to go to this site instead~
When it comes to feedback, Hiiro's quite straightforward about it~ Sometimes his bluntness makes him sound harsh, but he has no intention of being that !! He just wants to help you and see you improve so please don't take it wrongly !! Hiiro’s always by your side every time you turn something in, having a mini celebration with you through the screen <3
•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•
Aira Shiratori :
He’s your #1 fan !! Aira's always cheering you on whether you’re playing a video game, doing your assignments, drawing, or when you’re doing any of your hobbies !! Sometimes you can see him in the corner of your screen holding up glowsticks of your favourite colour as if you’re an idol yourself <3
Whether you’re into celebrity news or not, you’ll somehow always be in the loop because of him~ Aira somehow knows all the juicy celebrity gossip that’s going around at all times and he would often end up rambling about the latest scandal or news. Like, have you heard ?? The lead singer of this band was seen with someone else going to a fancy restaurant after their live performance !! Apparently they’ve been childhood friends but some people say they’re actually partners~
Aira created a nickname for you based on your username on social media~ Though, he would sometimes come up with his own unique ones just for you and, if you do the same thing for him, he will definitely get flustered and try his absolute best to calm himself down [ though he would definitely fail~ ]
You both love watching TV shows, movies or videos together in general !! You would often freak out over your favourite characters/celebrities together and would sometimes tease each other about it too. Like c’mon !! Your favourite character was so cute during that one scene~ Aira definitely saw you swoon !! Huh ?! What do you mean he also swooned when HIS favourite character showed up ?! T-that totally didn’t happen !!
Sometimes, you both would ramble to each other for so long that you wouldn’t realize how much time has passed. This leads to accidental all-nighters but you both don’t mind !! Aira genuinely enjoys listening to you ramble about the things you’re interested in and he also really appreciates when you listen to his rambles as well <3 He used to be very shy about it but you gave him so much confidence that he would now directly go to you whenever he wants to talk about something !!
Aira always keeps you company when you’re logged in, even when you don’t necessarily talk all the time, he’s still by your side through everything !! He’s always ready to drop whatever he’s doing in order to help you if he notices you struggling in any way, shape or form~
If you ever need primary sources for your assignments, Aira can easily find them and wouldn’t hesitate to give them to you~ Here !! Have this interview from 5 years ago translated to your native language by Aira himself <3 Oh? You want to know the opinion of the author when they wrote their book? Here it is~ It’s from 8 years ago at around the time when they completed their book, it’s just what you needed right~?
He actively makes sure that you don’t overwork yourself and would often tug at your cursor to get your attention if you’re too focused on your work. He also gives you reminders for any important upcoming dates so that you both can make a schedule that works for you together !!
If you ever feel overwhelmed or stressed in general, Aira would do his best to comfort you. He knows that he’s limited to the screen but he would talk to you to try and distract you from any negative thoughts, listen to you if you want to vent, and would even hug your cursor as an act of comfort. He hopes that it’d help you feel more at ease <3
Aira gets super shy and flustered when you give him affection !! He tries to look cool in front of you but his facade instantly breaks the moment you give him a headpat. The first time you said, “I love love love~you !!” Aira.exe has stopped working~ It took him an hour to be able to look at you again without getting flustered !!
•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•
Mayoi Ayase :
Honestly, you wouldn’t see Mayoi on screen as much but that doesn’t mean he’s not there !! You’ll somehow notice quality of life improvements that originally weren't there before such as files seemingly appearing when you needed them, keyboard shortcuts, apps already being up-to-date even though you never updated them yourself for months, etc. Huh…? Since when were you logged into this site? You haven’t touched it in literal years let alone actually remembered the password !! How convenient though~ You needed it to finish your project after all~
As time goes on though, you might catch subtle glimpses of purple on the edge of your screen which suddenly disappears before you could call out to him. Please be patient though~ He’s trying his best !! And don’t worry, he’ll definitely appear when the time comes :)
Once you’re both acquainted though, and he’s comfortable enough to show himself to you, Mayoi's genuinely such a caring little buddy !! He easily notices when you’re feeling down, even if you try to mask it, and would gladly sit and listen to you vent. He understands those types of feelings and would try his best to help you through them. Mayoi will make sure that you know you’re never alone !!
Mayoi’s such an amazing teacher if you’re struggling with your work !! He would often tailor his teaching style to whatever works best for you in order to make sure that you’re able to understand the content !! Are you a visual learner? Mayoi will show you the steps on screen, so follow along ok~? Are you an auditory learner? He’ll make sure that his explanations are recorded so you can always go back to them at a later date~ You’re a kinaesthetic learner? Go grab a piece of paper and he’ll give you bulletpoint explanations to make the information easier to remember !!
He gets very skittish and super flustered if you show him any sort of affection. No matter how many times you do it, he’ll never be able to get used to it. Mayoi doesn’t really like anything physical, like headpats, but he’ll definitely melt on the spot with any sort of words of affirmation. He would often hide in one of your folders in order to re-cooperate before going back to you. That doesn’t mean he hates it though !! He’s just not used to receiving them in the first place.
He doesn’t like watching you overwork yourself so he would secretly force-quit the app you’re using [ after saving your progress of course~ ] and would use that as an excuse for you to go and relax while he “fixes” the problem for you. Oh? The app seemingly works again exactly after an hour every time? Well… After an hour break, you’re feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work !! So that’s perfect in your eyes~
Mayoi also makes sure that you get a proper night’s rest and would often remind you of the time. If he notices that you have an important due date coming up, he’ll actively help you even more so that you’ll be able to finish early~ Sometimes, when you’re logged off, Mayoi will continue working on minor details so that you’ll be ahead in terms of progress on the next day.
He enjoys watching you play games or do your hobbies and isn’t necessarily an active member during them. Though, he’ll sometimes give you tips and/or feedback if you’re struggling with a certain aspect or level~
If you want feedback on your work, Mayoi would be very blunt. Please don’t misconstrue his words though !! He means no harm, he just wants to make sure that everything’s up to your standards !! He genuinely wants to help you~ Mayoi would sometimes give you alternative solutions when necessary so rest assured, you’ll be proud of your work in no time <3
Mayoi would also create a schedule for you and would include breaks in between each work session so that you’ll never get burnt-out. He would often update this schedule even without you knowing so that you’d have one less thing to worry about !!
•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•
Tatsumi Kazehaya :
He’s the type to give you those Facebook mom good morning posts. You know, the ones with the pink background, glitter and butterfly gifs and sparkly font? Yeah those~ Tatsumi would probably have the image open so that it’s one of the first things you see when you log into your computer !!
An amazing tutor !! Tatsumi’s so understanding and patient and he’ll gladly give you various types of explanations just in case the first one doesn’t stick. He’ll guide you and make sure that you understand each step before slowly stepping back when he feels that you’re getting the hang of it. At the same time though, he’s still there if you still need any help or guidance.
He prefers being an observer when you do any sort of hobbies because he loves seeing the way your eyes light up with passion for the things you do. Tatsumi would also go out of his way to ask questions regarding your hobbies just to see your face light up as a wide, bright smile graces your features <3 Tatsumi adores listening to you ramble about your passions~
If you play video games though… For the safety of the characters in the game and Tatsumi, please don’t make him play racing games against you. He’s single handedly the best and worst racer you’ve ever known. With his speed, you’re surprised that he didn’t submit any of his times to speedrunning websites considering that he beats the world record as if he’s taking a casual drive around the track. [ You tried submitting one of his times once but the moderators thought that you were cheating and didn’t accept it. If only they knew the truth though… ]
Tatsumi would actively make sure that you take breaks when you work and that you go to bed at the right time~ With all his help and guidance, you never really had an instance where you had to pull an all-nighter anyways !! Sometimes he would feel a bit down that he had to stop you for these sort of reminders late into the night but if you reassure him that it’s ok, any sort of negativity would immediately be washed away as he wishes you a good night and sweet dreams !!
He’s not as active as he wants to be because sometimes his leg pains would act up and he would need to sit down and just re-cooperate. Sometimes this causes him to rest in the most awkward spots on your screen but he’d be deeply moved if you carefully pick him up and place him down in his favourite spot. He would thank you with such a soft, but loving, smile that you couldn’t help but smile back <3
Tatsumi’s always willing to listen to your rants and vents !! He would also try his best to give you advice because he’s so worried for you :( He doesn’t like seeing you sad and his heart will 100% shatter into tiny pieces if he ever catches you crying. In times like that, he wishes that he could comfort you outside of the screen but, since he can’t do that physically, he resorts to using words instead. He hopes that his words are able to resonate with you and make you feel better~
You’ll never forget anything ever again with Tatsumi around !! He’s very organized and helps manage your schedules and due dates. He does this as a way to help you avoid burn-out and overworking yourself, especially during the busier months of the year. He updates your schedule regularly even after you logged off to the point where you now don’t really worry about adding or editing things yourself.
Tatsumi would also organize your folders and desktop just in case it starts to get messy~ This is because he doesn’t want you to get frustrated over the fact that you can’t find your important files so, he would either find them for you or guide you to where they’re at !! Over here~! He moved your presentation to this folder since it's one click away rather than five~
He’s so fond of your affection and would not hesitate to reciprocate them !! If you give him words of affirmation, he’ll give some to you too~ If you give him a headpat, he’ll pet your cursor !! He always has a soft smile, accompanied by a very light blush on his cheeks, and he’ll sometimes fondly chuckle at the fact that you’re just so adorable and; “What did I do to deserve someone as amazing as you” <3

I already talked about why I love Pucci on a logical sort of level but I didn't get in depth about what I think and feel about him as a character and why he stuck with me enough to get him permanently tattooed on my skin so I'm gonna get into it a little bit. Feel free to skip this one because it's not really analysis and delves a tiny bit into interpretation/headcanon so I guess it's more blogposting than anything.
To be honest although I really liked his design and the cool black representation he is, and Whitesnake was instantly my favorite stand, I didn't like him right away, I thought he was a little bit of a weirdo in his introduction scene with Miraschon, and it took some time for him to grow on me. His design and themes land right in the middle of stuff I've been interested in since forever (Christianity, the moon, space, technology, arts, science...) so of course I had an interest in him. I remember that I really liked the fact that even though he's a priest he's knee deep in the occult with the green baby and making Foo Fighters etc, I thought that was super interesting. It took me til the end of the part to root for him, and then when he was defeated, I realized that I wasn't as happy as I should have been lol.
I guess one of the first reasons why I was touched by Pucci on a personal level is that I felt really strongly empathic towards him, and his behavior and actions just let me feel like I caught a glimpse of his many emotions inside, even though he has a thick facade. For example, his loneliness felt very real to me. Having lost most of his family, and his dear ones by his own fault, them being taken away from him, him choosing to live a celibate life in the clergy, shutting himself in a prison for the biggest part of his life... His self inflicted suffering just saddened me a lot deep down inside. He's also got big existential dread, wondering about the greater purpose of his life from his childhood. Isn't this something that touches everyone at some point?
But not many people have their entire beliefs about their existence and identity crushed at a young age in their life. Pucci, when his brother is found out to be alive, has everything that he built himself upon, his justification for being alive, completely shattered. It then turns into tragedy, yet he seems to find a little hope and comfort with Dio, only for them to be crushed again when he dies. And then he holds on to this impossible grief for 22 whole years, unable to accept that his fate in this world is to suffer so much loss. We don't see him sad after his sister died, we don't see him cry or flinch. Living his life in this manner, he surely had to have a lot of pent up emotion, which he surely dealt with by dissociating them from himself and pushing them onto Whitesnake. But not entirely, it's a little 'see-through'. When you think of it, he's amongst the most 'perfect' characters in the series, he's superior, composed, poised, tightly upkept, articulate. He has both an advantage in status and seniority in age over almost everyone in the part. He seems to be well adjusted and respected by people working in the prison, and in the city. Yet he's also very faillible, often prone to panic, he begs for his life at multiple times. Scenes like the frog scene where he slips and messes up the prime number count because there are frogs on his expensive pants make him reek of humanity when otherwise he could easily feel 'out of reach' and inhuman because of how superior he is (like let's say, Kars is, which is a lot of his appeal though!). Same when I recently discovered his watch is worth several thousand dollars. It felt like peeking into his true self right through the wall of righteousness that he built to protect himself and further the plan. His bad sides and inclination towards cardinal sins are really fun to watch and try to notice. That's also why I don't like when people pass him off as a good person, because to me he's really not, he wouldn't be half as interesting if he was! But he's not completely evil either, and as Weather tells him, being so sure that his evil is necessary for a greater purpose is what makes it even more heart breaking to me.
On top of that, his quirks and unique traits make him both very endearing and relatable, especially if you happen to have similar ones! In my case counting has been my primary means of shutting down anxiety attacks for years now, and when I saw him do it too, I automatically felt really drawn to him. Same goes for his ramblings in the worst moments, they made him really stand out, and I felt drawn to him because of some examples he used that hit close to my interests. If you've read my other analysis maybe you know that I tend to interpret him as autistic and so this hits close to home too. In the same manner, the fact that such a cool and powerful character grew up with a canon disability (in his foot) made me feel happy as a disabled person.
There are scenes where he expresses love and devotion very directly and in a raw way, which is very rare, and was also surprising because of how indirect he usually is to make a point... His love for Dio however you wish to interpret the nature of it is deep and sincere and rooted in both despair towards his impossible situation and the hope that maybe another miracle could occur and turn things around for him. I thought the evolution of the way he talks about Dio was really interesting and it moved me to see him very attached to his dear friend. Also the scenes with Dio let us see how sweet and interested he is when he's with someone he gets along with, and how different Dio behaved towards him made me like Dio a lot more too.
When I watched Stone Ocean I had just finished The Outer Wilds and FFXIV Endwalker, and in a way these 3 pieces of media hit the same nerve in me. I was thinking a lot about the purpose of existence and the end of the universe, so I really wanted Pucci to fulfill his potential and go as far as he could, taking the entire universe with him, breaking every rule of his world and becoming bigger than the story itself. It's still how I see him and why I admire him a lot. I was very shaken by his death and the part it played in the entire series. In a sense I get the feeling that he was obsessed with destiny because he knew he was created to do something, and he was right, he was created by Araki only to suffer his horrible backstory, to have everything taken from him. But his extraordinary inability to accept it pushed him to break the wall of the story and try to subtract himself from it, while opening everyone's eyes on the cruelty of the (fictional?) world they live in, and giving humanity the possibility to be at peace with it. The first time I saw the ending, I was completely crushed by the weight Araki put on him, making his total erasure from the world the only condition for everyone's life to suddenly become better, almost perfect. I was disgusted that it was expected from me to be happy that the world was finally rid of him when it all started with an impossible to predict chain of events. Now that I look back at the ending, I think maybe I misunderstood it, and I've decided to believe that he maybe was freed from the curse that was his existence in the story, and that he took upon him many of all the 'wrong' that was in the original world, making it all right for the other characters. I hope Perla is happy in the new universe... Even though this is probably just delusional coping...
Although I feel sorry for Pucci and wish he could have solved his problems differently, I'm glad the story is sad as it is because otherwise I wouldn't have felt so deeply for him. In a sense I felt his pain so strongly that I was instantly drawn emotionally to find a way to 'solve' his situation, he's like I tormented soul that I have to appease, and that's why I pick up a pen and draw, write, or spread love and wholesomeness. That's also why I draw him peaceful or sleeping most of the time, why I bring my plushie to see nice things 😔🫶 I also get a lot of different feelings coming from Araki's way of drawing him throughout the part, and I think Pucci was a character that Araki learned to love and understand along the way too, instead of liking him from the start like he did Dio or Jolyne, but he probably was a lot to handle even for him lol.
Jojo's been one of my favorite mangas for more than 7 years now and I'm so glad Pucci was the last boss for it, embodying and carrying in him the legendary Dio without being overshadowed by such a legendary character, while giving the story and Dio's character the last missing piece of the puzzle to truly tie things up nicely. Saying goodbye to him and to Stone Ocean after watching it also meant saying goodbye to the universe that I had loved and enjoyed for many years so it was bittersweet. In any case he's the peak, the climax, the strongest and has permanently changed the course of one of the best mangas in existence with his actions, and I take a lot of pride in my taste and the fact that my favorite character is the one who did all that haha 😫
And lastly I'd like to say that even if it's not really related to Pucci as a character, this last year that I've been active in fandom, liking him as pushed me to develop my skills, I started drawing, got back into writing, went on trips cause I wanted an excuse to bring him to the Louvre, go out of my way and explore new places when I made that collection of pictures representing the 14 words, made friends, I'm going to Japan soon and I'll be bringing him with me to meet them, he has fueled my imagination and given me more inspiration than I've ever felt, and I'm forever grateful for that. It is not easy nowadays to feel very intense positive emotions, life can be stressful and tiring, so I'm thankful that liking him has given me the push I needed to start doing many new things, interest myself in the wonders of the world, go to church, explore my city, go see art, travel, feed my mind with knowledge and beauty. Heck I even listened to that Handel's CD, it was wonderful. And read an essay on prime numbers when I have math dyslexia!?
I don't know how much deeper I can get without sounding completely off my rocker so I'll leave you guys here, hope you enjoyed and feel free to tell me how you relate to your favorite characters and how much they mean to you!
Fame redraw for illustration by me~

I don’t even know that much about atla but
Give me your giant zuko thoughts 👀
(Only if you’re comfortable with sharing ofc!)
OH I’VE BEEN WAITING TO YAP ABOUT THIS
Don’t worry, I’m completely comfortable with sharing! I love sharing G/T thoughts about characters, I don’t mind at all! Thank you for asking though!
Okay okay, so I’m going to be assuming you know the basics of Zuko’s story, but long story short, he goes from being a typical antagonist for the heroes to having one of the best written redemption arcs in entertainment history (in my opinion). So I feel things would go differently based on which version of Zuko you’re dealing with.
Something to keep in mind though is that a prime quality of Zuko’s character that sticks with him through the entire series is that he isn’t cruel. Yes he has a temper, and yes he can be violent, but it has always been shown that he is an extremely empathetic person with a good heart.
Book One Zuko might be a handful to deal with. He's angry, he has a one-track mind, and his temper is at the highest it will ever be. If you're a tiny under his care, I'd say steer clear of him when possible and don't ever try to get him mad. That being said, I fully believe he'd never hurt you. Book One Zuko cares A LOT about honor, and he'd probably see harming someone that's so much smaller than him as an act of cowardice. That doesn't mean he'll be very gentle with you. He'll rough you up a bit and you definitely will at times be fearing for your life, but he knows limits and he'd never put you in serious danger (Possible vore scenarios are spiraling in my brain). So basically, LOTS of fearplay and dealing with an angsty teenager with daddy issues.
Book Two Zuko would be...better. He's a banished prince traveling the Earth Kingdom with severe identity issues, but in doing so, he's learning more about himself and who he is meant to be. His gentler side comes out more during these travels, so you'd be exposed to less anger and more awkwardness. I don't think he'd know what to do with a tiny during this time in his life because this softer side of him really starts to show itself and he'd probably be terrified of scaring you. He doesn't want to scare people anymore; he doesn't even know what he wants for himself. I'd say that if you're dealing with Book Two Zuko, you'll get a better experience than Book One, but he'll be more disinterested because of what he is going through. He'll probably hand you off to Uncle Iroh or someone he trusts.
Book Three Zuko would arguably be the best to encounter. He's really mellowed out and is more in tune with where he wants his future to go, and his time with Team Avatar really allows him to fall back into a more gentle, empathetic temperament. If he were to find a tiny, he'd probably be very awkward and flustered at first, but then he'd immediately get onto your level and try to talk to you. If your scared of him, he expects it, and he'll try his best to calm you down. I can definitely see him being as soft as possible with his tone and words. If it takes quite a while to reassure you though, his short temper will show through, and he might grow frustrated and snap at you. Of course, he'd feel awful about it afterward. If this is the case, he'd spend as much time as possible trying to gain your trust. There's no way you're leaving his mind, and he'd keep making small gradual advancements until he can convince you he won't hurt you and your safe with him. After that, I think he'd be VERY protective. I could see him wanting to shelter you a lot, whether by holding you, letting you ride on his shoulder, or even allowing you to sit atop his head. He'd fight fiercely to keep you safe, but if you are fully capable of defending yourself, he won't smother you. Zuko is protective, but not clingy. He'd recognize that you are a person worthy of your own autonomy and independence, and he's not going to infringe on that (Again, so many possible vore scenarios here).
I could say so so much more, but then this would be an insufferably long post lol. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to write my brainrot about this silly guy down. Zuko is one of my all-time favorite characters, and I really want to write a g/t story with him. I know I'm primarily a Transformers blog, but there are so many other characters from different franchises I'd love to write about too! Maybe I'll make a generic g/t side blog for that kind of stuff :)

Sobbing, I neeeeed spiderverse g/t from the one and only- ESPECIALLY WITH CHARACTERS LIKE MIGUEL AND PAV
okay hello please if you will indulge in this little drabble about a tiny spider-person at HQ
Miles knew there were lots of spider people out there, but this was taking it to a whole new level. Especially the one that was actually the size of a spider.
He had to do a double-take at the tiny figure sitting snugly on Pavitr's shoulder. It took him a minute to realize that they, too, were wearing a little black spider suit, just like his.
"Staring is rude, Miles," Gwen chided when he saw where her friend's gaze was.
Miles shrugged. "Can you blame me? I've never seen a tiny person before." A pause. "Have you?"
"Well, yeah. Everybody know The Widow."
"The Widow?"
"Yeah. Like a black widow. But that name's already taken."
Miles shook his head in understanding as Pavitr glanced down to his tiny friend.
"Do you want to introduce yourself?" he whispered. The tiny nodded. "He's a pretty good guy."
"Haven't you only known him for like, 10 minutes?"
"I'm a great judge of character," Pavitr said with a smile.
Miles froze when Pavitr started to walk toward him. Instead of saying anything, the Mumbattan Spider-Man simply extended his arm out, palm up, and let his small friend scale themselves down.
"Hi," they breathed, offering a small wave. "I'm --"
"PETRA!"
The tiny whipped their head around. "Miguel! Heeeeey, you big brute."
"I'm not in the mood for nicknames," he grumbled, though Petra knew he wasn't actually mad. "You were supposed to be helping me in the lab."
"Funny story," Petra said sheepishly, "Pavitr was actually taking me there!" They paused and gave Pavitr a pinch when he didn't react.
"Oh! Right. Yes. That is definitely true."
Miguel rolled his eyes, but let Petra see their lie through, because god, they were just adorable. Any annoyance he felt just melted away with just five seconds of conversation with the tiny.
"Give them to me," Miguel demanded, holding his palm out.
"Miguel, come on," Petra smirked. "Ask him nicely."
Pavitr simply raised his eyebrows. Miguel sighed.
"Give them to me... please."
"There, see? That wasn't so hard."
Nobody would ever say it out loud, but watching Petra jump around and make impossibly long leaps was everybody's favorite thing -- especially Miguel's. He had found them cowering and scared in their home dimension, completely unaware of the spider powers they possessed. He had practically raised them, watched them learn and grow and become comfortable in the giant worlds they visited. They were the closest thing he'd ever have to a real daughter.
Miguel's heart fluttered when Petra landed lightly into his open palm, like it always did. Pavitr bent down and gave his friend a fist bump, grinning at the comical size difference in their hands. He unfurled his index finger and gave them a playful poke, to which Petra responded by shooting webs at him and yanking him forward. He always forgot how strong they were.
"You better brush up on your skills, Pavitr. They're stronger than you," Miguel joked with a lighthearted smile.
"He can smile?!" Miles whispered furiously to Gwen, who smirked. "He doesn't seem like the joking type."
"Miguel has... something of a soft spot for them," Gwen whispered back. "Not hard to see why."
"Yeah," Miles agreed. "They're adorable."
Petra made their way up from Miguel's open palm to his shoulder, where they promptly took a seat and grabbed onto the folds of his suit for stability. Miguel always made it a point to walk slower and straighter when he had Petra with him, no matter how many times they said he didn't need to.
Miles stiffened when Miguel walked over, but slapped a smile on anyway. Pavitr practically materialized next to him, grinning up at Petra.
"I love this," he said, nudging Miles. "They're taller than both of us now."
Petra waved dramatically. "I'll see you later, Pavitr!" Their friend gave them a small salute, and they turned their attention to Miles. "And it was nice to meet you for five seconds! I'm sure we'll talk more later."
"No, you won't," Miguel grumbled, but Petra didn't care.
"Don't listen to him!" they smiled. "He doesn't control me."
"You are on my shoulder right now," he said flatly.
"And I can just as easily get on another one," they teased. That seemed to shut Miguel up.
Miles couldn't help but laugh at the sight of a tiny, little spider person on Miguel's huge shoulders. Man, he loved it here.
